2026 School Council Approved Contributions
2026 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 or six instalments. 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, 2026 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 2026 Family Credit Allocation Refund Request Form from the Compass Newsfeed. Completed forms can be returned via email to 7805-AccountsRec@schools.vic.edu.au to allow us to process your request.
If you have any queries regarding School Council Approved Contributions for 2026, please contact the General Office on 9430 5111 or via email, our Accounts team at
7805-AccountsRec@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) on 9430 5118 or email
7805-AccountsRec@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 relevant sub school for assistance.
Thank you for your support with this matter.
