GSC Payment options

In addition to Compass we also have other payments options that can be utilised for your convenience.

 

BPay and Direct deposit are available, so you can set up a payment to the school that can be used at your direction for Curriculum Contributions, sports, excursions or camps. 

 

Either of these options are a great “set and forget” way of never missing a payment for a sports event, excursion, camp or for the yearly Curriculum Contributions. 

 

Please contact Katrina at Katrina.robertson@education.vic.gov.au or the front office for your BPay code or the school direct deposit details and your family code. 

 

We really do appreciate your contribution towards your child’s curriculum costs, as these allow us to run educational programs within the school and provide resources to aid in your child’s learning.  

 

Excursion Permissions and Payments 

Excursions on Compass close for permission and payment three days before the event occurs.  This allows the school time to confirm transport and staffing requirements.  Please ensure you give permission and payment in a timely manner, so your child does not miss out on attending. Any student without permission and/or payment will not be able to attend and will need to remain at school.

 

If you wish to pay for an excursion using CSEF or credit on your account, please action the permission on Compass and choose 'pay by CSEF/Credit' option.  If you wish to pay by School Saving Bonus – please notify the school to action this on your behalf.
