Food Village App

September 16, 2024

Dear Parents & Guardians

For students who don’t bring in their own lunch to school, from Thursday 19th September, food by Foodvillage.ie will be available in the school for students to pre order and purchase.

All students attended a presentation today from Food Village where they received a menu and most importantly a keycard and it was explained how the process works.

If a student wishes to pre-order food for any school day (except Fridays), they can do so through the Food Village App.

The menu the boys received today, contains simple instructions on how to download the app and set up a student account. Students should use their school emails when setting up their accounts. Parents will separately need to download the app and link their students account to theirs if they wish to add money to their sons account. Both parents and students can order food via the app. 

Further details, along with links to the app stores for downloading are available here

If your son has pre ordered his lunch, he will scan his keycard at the collection point at lunchtime and get his food.  

If they lose their keycard they will need to pay for a replacement and will have to wait till the end of any queue to identify their order. 

Orders for hot food must be placed at least 30 hours beforehand. 

There is a limited menu for purchasing food on demand i.e. same day ordering/collection so it is recommended to order in advance. 

 

We hope, particularly during the winter months, the availability of hot food to students will be of enormous benefit to them. 

 

Absent Students

If any student was absent today, they can collect their menu and keycard from Mr O’Callaghan when they are next in. 

 

Just a reminder that First and Second Year students are not permitted to leave the school at lunchtime, except for those who live locally and have permission to go home.  Students in other year groups are permitted to leave, bring in their lunch or pre order their lunch through the App.
