We are very excited to introduce the new MyStudentAccount payment system into the Stanmore Cafeteria. We have been using the system successfully at the Wyvern campus since last year and many boys in Year 7 will already have credit on their accounts.

By the end of this term every boy at Stanmore 7-12 should be able to use his Student ID card to electronically release printing jobs, borrow library resources and now, should you allow him, use a debit facility to purchase items from the cafeteria.

A staggered introduction over the next four weeks starts with Years 7 and 12 boys. Parents access MyStudentAccount through SPACES and can, via their credit card or BPAY, top up the “balance” on their son’s Student ID card. Boys may then use their ID card to make purchases in the cafeteria.

Years 7 and 12 and their siblings – Week 6 (this week)

Years 8 and 11 and their siblings – Week 8 (commencing Monday 17 March)

Years 9 and 10 – Week 9 (commencing Monday 24 March)

Some other advantages and features of MyStudentAccount

You can:

• Set daily spend limits
• Send allergy alerts and messages to the Cafeteria
• Prohibit items from sale to your son
• Recharge his Student ID card by phone
• Make top up payments by BPAY
• View the transaction history

Getting Ready to use MyStudentAccount

We ask you to help us reinforce the steps below so that your son is ready to use his card once it is activated.

1. Does your son have a current Student ID card?

If he does not have a Student ID card with electronic chip and photo ID, he will need to go to the Student Office (above the cafeteria and below the library).

2. Does his card work in the Cafeteria?

BEFORE USING THE CARD FOR THE FIRST TIME every boy should check his card is validated. This will tell him it is the correct card for him and that there is credit loaded to the card. There is an ID Card Scanner in the Cafeteria area to check this.

3. Does he understand that the card is credited cash?

Photos will be checked by cafeteria staff but he must keep his card safe.

4. Has he alerted the cafeteria staff that he is making a MyStudentAccount payment?

He must tell the cashier that he would like to pay by Student ID Card BEFORE he starts the transaction.

5. If he does not have his card – but it has credit on it  – can he purchase?

No, he will not be able to make purchases if he does not have his card with him. He will have to use cash.
