Parent Contributions

Parent Contributions are available for payment on your family Compass account. Friendly reminders will be emailed out directly to families in the coming weeks.

The Parent Contributions play a pivotal role in our ability to provide high-quality educational resources to our students. These contributions are the primary funding source for essential learning materials, including devices, books, online subscriptions and other materials required for our enhanced learning programs. By fulfilling these contributions, you're directly investing in the educational success and future of your child.

To make the process as convenient as possible, we offer several payment options:

• Compass Account – upfront Card Payment
• Compass Account – monthly Card Payments
• Card payment at the school reception
• CentrePay Deductions
• BPAY
• Direct deposit

We deeply appreciate any amount you're able to contribute. If you're currently able to pay only a portion of these contributions, please know that every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated.

If you wish to spend your School Saving Bonus on the In-visits/Excursions contribution, please DO NOT pay the In-visits/Excursions contribution when paying your contributions on Compass. Read the School Saving Bonus section on this page for further info.

Please contact our Business Manager if you would like any support in setting up a payment plan or need assistance setting up other payment options: colin.mountney@smps.vic.edu.au
