Signing in and out

Please sign in and out of school using the Kiosk in the front foyer.  It is very important to know who is onsite at any given time especially if we have an evacuation or lockdown incident.  

Compass Reminder - if you are having difficulty accessing absentees etc please make sure you 'Open in Browser' which can be found in the drop down menu on the left hand side of your screen under the 3 horizontal lines.  

3 Way Learning Conference (Parent, Student & Teacher) are on site and in person in 2022. 

You will need to sign in at school via the Kiosk in the front foyer and enter the name of the teacher you are here to see before putting in your own details. This way the teacher receives a notification by phone and can meet you near the metal bench seats at the front of the school and take you to the classroom. 

Compass Pay is here!   CompassPay is our payment and billing management system. 

Please find all the information you need to sign up for Compass Pay in the link below. Using Compass Pay means you can give permission and pay for all sorts of events, excursions and sporting days in one place in Compass.  This has taken over from Qkr! for sport events and excursions.

Congratulations to everyone who has successfully given permission, offered to help via the tickboxes and made payment online for our Cross Country Event.  If you haven't managed to complete this task yet, please do this today as they are due tomorrow.  

Compass pay has been so successful that we will no longer use Qkr (Quicker) for payments for this type of event.  We will continue to use Qkr for uniform items and school fees until we move to the full suite of options in Tech One. 

School Fees

This term's fees are due by Thursday 31st March, 2022.  Thank you to all who have already paid and also to those who maintain regular payments. 

Tracey Klitsch Finance Officer
