• Set up your account to draw money from your credit or debit card, or pre-load credit into your QkR account.

What types of purchases can I make with QkR?

• Canteen lunch orders (note that students use cash to buy over-the-counter snacks & drinks during the lunch break)
• Uniforms
• Disco / event tickets
• Donations

What can’t I purchase with QkR?

• Anything organised by the school (rather than the P&C), such as excursions.

Why does the P&C use QkR?

• It delivers an easy and secure payment system.
• It offers great flexibility to parents who need to make payments while on-the-go, rather than physically being on the school grounds.
• It reduces the administration by the P&C volunteers enormously, enabling them to focus their efforts in other areas.
