Today saw the first day of the new Cashless Catering System within the School.  Pupils were enrolled on Wednesday where a secure fingertip scan was taken from each pupil.  Using their fingertips our pupils (and staff!) where able to purchase food at Breakfast, Break and Lunch Time today.  The whole process went extremely well with a smooth and efficient serving.

Pupils at anytime can check their balance and add money to their accounts at two cash boxes located in the School.  They can also check their accounts on the School Computers on the Vericool Portal.
