TUCASI Parent Guide – Making Payments

Payments for School Meals/Cashless Catering

For your convenience, parents can top up their child’s canteen account using Tucasi. For parents who do not have the facility to top up their child’s account online, there are two ‘cash loaders’ in the school for students to credit their account. These are situated in the main hall.

Payments for Innovate Services who run our canteen are processed by Cunninghams, and so your bank statement would display ‘Cunninghams’ for payments made for the canteen. Cunninghams accept credit cards as well as debit cards for these payments.

If you wish to pay by cheque to top up a canteen account, it should be made payable to ‘Innovate Services Ltd’ and can be posted in the box in the school hall. Cheques are usually credited on the day that they are posted
