Credits from cancelled events

Does your Family have Outstanding Credits from Cancelled Events?

We still have many families who have credit available on their accounts due to the canceled camps, excursions, and events during 2020-2021.

Credits can be used to pay for most events your children may be invited to. To pay for an event with credit, please select the payment option “CSEF/Credit” in Compass when you provide consent.  If the credit available does not fully cover the event, the amount owing will be updated and the status reset for you to continue to make payment through Compass – and we will let you know by email. 

If there is no credit available, the status will be reset for you to make payment for the full amount in Compass and we will also let you know by email.

If you have any questions regarding this, please email kalinda.ps@education.vic.gov.au.

MS Readathon is back

Throughout August we’re going on a magical quest filled with adventure and mystery for one incredible cause. We’re reading as many books as we can in August to raise funds for kids who have a parent living with multiple sclerosis. Money raised through MS Readathon will help fund vital support services, like special Family Camps. 

These camps provide an opportunity for kids who have a parent affected by MS to learn more about MS, bond with other kids, and have fun with their families. 

Thank you for supporting our MS Readathon adventure!

Please visit our school's fundraising page to register your participation.
