What happens if my child loses their card?
The child will be provided with a new card and their old card is
hot listed. This means if the lost card is used, when it is swiped
a message appears on the canteen register screen identifying the
card as lost or stolen. The school is then able to take the appropriate
action.
Is there a limit to the number of foods I can ban?
There is no limit to the number of items a parent can prevent their
child from purchasing.
Can I ensure that my child only uses the card one day per week?
Yes. A parent can ensure their child only uses their card one day
a week if that is their desire.
What is stopping a child from spending all of the money on the
card in one day?
Parents are able to set daily spending limits to regulate their
child's spending.
How much money can be placed on the cards?
There is no standard limit but schools do have an option to set
a maximum amount of money to be placed on a card.
Do all of the students in the school need to adopt the card?
It is not necessary that all students adopt the mystudentaccount,
however, it is recommended for the most benefits to be gained.
Is this a credit card?
No. The mystudentaccount system operates much like a prepaid debit card, money is placed onto the card for a child to use at school. Children learn important, real world, budgeting skills without the risks of credit.
Under the healther food reward scheme, how have you determined
what foods earn students points?
The Healthier Food Reward Scheme has been developed in close consultation
with the Federation of Canteens in Schools (FOCiS), and is welcomed
by Nutrition Australia and the Australian Council for Health, Physical
Education and Recreation (ACHPER).
Can another student use my child's card?
No. When a child uses their card
to make a purchase the mystudentaccount terminal will display photo ID of the
card owner.
Can the card be used anywhere else?
The mystudentaccount card can be used across the school in a range
if areas, some of which are available as modules now, while some
are under development and will be available shortly. These include
student/staff identification, library hire, area access, roll marking,
photocopying, purchase of uniforms and stationery, payment of fees,
access to data for curriculum purposes etc.
Given the type of technology being used development of new and
exciting options to benefit the education sector will be ongoing.
What security measures does the mystudentaccount card have?
The mystudentaccount Card is highly secure. When the card is scanned
a photo I.D. of the child and name appears on the terminal
screen preventing children from swapping or stealing cards.
