We operate a cashless dining facility at Fairfax through the use of Parent Pay.
The advantage of Parent Pay far outweighs the use of cash and is a safe and convenient online payment system for adding cash to pupils’ accounts. Our catering administration has recently been improved with the introduction of software on Parent Pay allowing you to view both your account statement and payment history and is proving to be very helpful and interesting!
OUR TEAM
The team at Fairfax are led by Belinda Smith, Catering Manager. They work to a three-week menu cycle and provide a range of hot and chilled meals including deli offers, grab and go products, theme and concepts events throughout the study week. We would love to hear from you so please do let us know if you have any feedback or ideas.
