Enrolment Forms - Family Information

We have sent out an automated email to families that will contain your child/children's enrolment form details. 

 

We ask that you look through all the information contained in the form and confirm that all your family details are correct. This form will include all the family contact information such as phone numbers, email addresses, parent occupation codes, emergency contact details etc.

 

If there are any changes or updates you would like to make to the information, please note these on the form, sign it and return it to the general office or alternatively you can send the adjusted form to the following email address; 7805-reception@schools.vic.edu.au

 

If all your family contact details are up to date and correct on the form, you do not need to do anything. 

 

Thank you for your assistance in ensuring we have your current details on file.

 

2024 School Council Approved Contributions

2024 School Council Approved Contributions are available to pay via the Payments Centre on Compass. You can choose to pay Contributions in full or via a payment plan option of three instalments in February, March, and May. If you opt for a payment plan after an instalment date, Compass will deduct payment from your credit card on the following day for past instalment dates with remaining payments in line with the advertised dates.  Alternatively, 2024 Contributions and Electives are open for payment via the Payments Centre for the full school year so you do have the option of making part payments at any time during the year when it is convenient to you.  

 

Due to changes in the Parent Payment Policy and functionality within the billing module of Compass, we regret that we are unable to allocate credits on family accounts towards School Contributions. Credits available on your account can either be allocated to outstanding account charges or refunded to a nominated bank account.  You can action use of your credits by downloading and completing the 2024 Family Credit Allocation Refund Request Form from the Compass Newsfeed. Completed forms can be returned via email to 7805-accounts@schools.vic.edu.au to allow us to process your request.  

 

If you have any queries regarding School Council Approved Contributions for 2024, please contact the General Office on 9430 5111 or via email, 7805-accounts@schools.vic.edu.au.

 

Payment Process and Closing Dates for Excursions and Activities via Compass, including payment via CSEF and credit balances.

Camps, excursions, and other school based activities that have a financial charge associated with them fall under the Extra-Curricular Items and Activities category of fees and are offered to students on a ‘user pays’ basis. They are offered in addition to the standard curriculum.

 

Cut-off dates for payment and consent on Compass are set by the school to assist us in meeting our financial and duty of care requirements for each event. In support of meeting these obligations, we will not extend due dates for events or take late payments

 

Administration staff send an email to families when the event is published and a reminder email five days prior to the event closing date. Students are also reminded by their classroom teachers about events and when payment and consent must be received. If payment or consent is not received by the due date, your child will be excluded from the activity and will be supervised by teachers at school.

 

If you have received CSEF funding and would like to allocate it towards a Compass Event, or have credit on your family statement that you would like to use, please contact Jacinta D’Avoine (Revenue Administrator) 9430 5118 or email 7805-accounts@schools.vic.edu.au to arrange for the allocation to be processed.  

 

As Compass now has the functionality to 'Pay with CSEF or credit balance' for Events, if you have insufficient funds on your family account to cover the cost of that event we will allocate the amount that is available and then update the event to show the amount that is still required to be paid.  Payment of the balance will need to be completed before the event cut off date for your child to be eligible to attend.  If you select to use CSEF or credit to pay for an Event on Compass, please check the Event again before the closing date to make sure that any outstanding balance is paid.  

 

Please ensure that if payment is made via the office with CSEF, credit allocation, credit card or cash, that you log on to Compass prior to the closing date to provide Consent for your child to attend the event.

 

If you are having issues accessing Compass, please contact the school for assistance. 

 

Thank you for your support with this matter.
