SMART CARD SYSTEM 2024

INFORMATION FOR PARENTS

The Smart Card may be used to purchase food from the school canteen and the pop-up shop at lunch and break times.  Students who wish to use the Smart Card system should make a payment (minimum €25 up to a maximum of €125) using the online payment system, Easy Payments.  As this is intended to be a cashless system, no cash payments will be accepted.  

Payments may be credited to the Smart Card throughout the school year using the Easy Payments system.  Smart Cards will be credited between 8am and 9am on any school morning.  Any payment made after 9 am will be available the following morning.  

Lost Cards? 

A great advantage for the user is that there is no need to carry cash for food purchases.  A card may be cancelled immediately by emailing smartcards@st-andrews.ie. Once reported, any credit for unused amount will be transferred to a replacement card.  Please note, however, that it is the responsibility of the pupil to report the loss as soon as possible - the College cannot be responsible for misuse of a card if its loss is not reported.  There is a €6 administrative charge for replacement of lost cards. 

Food Available? 

The card enables pupils to choose from a great variety of meals at different prices.  Also, healthy snacks may be purchased at break time. 

Please note that an analysis of purchases on any card is available, on request, from the Smart Card Office smartcards@st-andrews.ie  

If you have any queries on any of the above, please contact the smartcards@st-andrews.ie
