BENEFITS OF MYSTUDENT ACCOUNT
|
|
ENCOURAGE HEALTHIER EATING HABITS
|
Students using mystudentaccount earn reward points each time they select a healthier food option that they are then able to use to win prizes that encourage physical activity. This Reward Scheme encourages students to buy a sandwich rather than a sausage roll or a low fat yogurt rather than an ice-cream.
The food criteria for the Healthier Food Reward Scheme has been developed by the Federation of Canteens in Schools (FOCiS) using Nutrition Australia and the Heart Australia and Heart Foundation food guidelines.

IMPROVED CANTEEN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
|
The mystudentaccount software improves the business management and image of the school canteen. As parents pre-load funds onto the card, cash flow is enhanced. The software is a tool for stock control and sales analysis. The system promotes a growth in canteen sales by building the canteens image. No longer will parents be reluctant to allow their son or daughter to purchase their lunch from the canteen. The trial school, Kuluin in Queensland, increased their revenue by an amazing 20%, due to improved parent confidence in canteen purchases.
