Advantages of mystudentaccount

The mystudentaccount system is an exciting new technological tool allowing you to monitor the food and drink your child purchases at school. There are numerous reasons why you are going to love mystudentaccount…

Prohibiting Foods

As a parent, you may wish to prohibit certain products, or groups of products, from your child's diet. The reasons may range from health issues, to dieting and weight control. Whatever the reasons, the mystudentaccount system makes it easy to effectively govern what your child eats.

The mystudentaccount card is a debit card, that when swiped reveals to canteen staff a list of foods you, the parent, do not want your child to purchase and consume.

Allergy Warnings

Allergies can pose a life threatening risk to your child, unless monitored carefully. Once these details are entered into the system, products containing the harmful ingredients will be blocked from sale to your child.

Set Daily Spend Limits

With mystudentaccount you can restrict the amount of money your child spends per day on canteen items. For example, you may choose to provide $6 per day to your child. Not only is this great from a monetary point of view, but it also teaches your child the skill of budgeting.

Healthier Food Reward Scheme

With the ever increasing concern of childhood obesity, it is becoming even more important to make sure that children eat foods containing the correct nutritional requirements. But as every parent knows, this is easier said than done. What is needed is a reward system to encourage students to eat healthier, and we provide that using a point system and prizes to be won.

Students using mystudentaccount earn reward points each time they select a healthier food as a way to encourage them to buy a low fat yogurt rather than an icecream, or a sandwich rather than a sausage roll. Students can use the points to win prizes that encourage physical activity.

Making Payments

Modern technology makes paying for your child's lunches easier than ever before. Gone are the days of hunting for exact change, now that a range of payment options are available to you. Payment can take place via any of the following: internet, phone, cheque, cash or direct debit.

Further payment details will be forwarded to you when your school confirms their involvement with mystudentaccount.

Security

Student information collected for the mystudentaccount is kept highly confidential. The information remains on the school computer system and can only be accessed by a select number of staff appointed by the school.
