Canteen

The College will not see a child go without food, however, if a student presents to canteen stating they have no lunch the new process will be as follows:

Canteen staff will ask the student to go to reception and administration staff will call home to ask the parents/carers to add funds to the student ID card.

The student will then be able to tap the card at the Canteen.

We ask that parents familiarise themselves with the online shop at https://shop.sjc.vic.edu.au/mymonitor/
