We are excited to announce our school now offers a simplified way parents and carers can make payments!

For the past ten years or so the Department of Education provided schools with ebs:Central as a software program to manage excursions, payments and banking, among other things. This system was complicated and dated and is being decommissioned this year. School Bytes is the new provider to replace ebs:Central. It has been extremely well received by hundreds of schools across NSW already.

Via the QR code parents and carers will need to sign in to set up you Parent Portal account.

The School Bytes portal provides flexibility for you to conveniently:

• Make school payments online 
• Use a family credit to pay for an activity or school contributions
• Download a receipt for payments made
• View all historical payments in one place
• Complete and submit digital permission notes
• View the status of all permission notes
• Request a refund if required

This can be done where you want at any time: day or night. Through the portal, you will easily be able to download a receipt once a payment has been made and have access to view all historical payments when needed. Online payments are processed in real-time and can be viewed by school staff immediately.

While our preference is for payments to be made via the portal, we will still accept payment via cash, cheque, money order and EFTPOS.

School Bytes will have an app available to download for the start of 2024. This will have the additional feature of sending out alerts to parents through the app.
