- Please note, this account must not be used for Parents and Friends Association payments - all P&F payments (uniform, social) must be paid via CDFpay Any payments received to our general account will be assigned to fee payment.
PARENTS and FRIENDS ASSOCIATION
We have a very active P&F which is a crucial part of our community. It provides social and fundraising opportunities that contribute to continual improvement in our school. During the year, the P&F will host various fundraising events. All payments must go through the CDFpay website, and not the school bank account. New families will be set up soon; we will advise when this is active. The P&F also run the Uniform Shop (more details below)
In 2025 CDFpay has joined with Flexischools to provide an all in one solution for purchasing P&F events, uniform and now also our tuck shop provider Fun Fresh Foods has utilised this service, making it easier for parents to navigate. Download the CDFpay app today!
UNIFORM SHOP
A very important function of the P&F is our Uniform Shop. It is housed onsite and run by two parent volunteers. This is a HUGE job and we are so grateful for the time and effort that is given to operate this much needed service to our community.
Uniform Shop is usually open every second Friday of term from 8:30-9am. Orders can be placed online via the CDFpay app (download via the Apple App Store or Google Store). Orders will be filled and delivered to your child's classroom usually within a few days. If you have any uniform questions, please email uniform@shsandringham.catholic.edu.au
COMMUNICATION & ADMIN PLATFORMS USED AT SACRED HEART
In 2025 we are moving to a more 'all in one' platform for school and parent communication. :
ICON
Is the main database that all MACS (Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools) schools use. It is important for parents to notify the school when any student information changes (Medical, contact, address etc). This database is directly linked to nForma Portal (see below), so it is imperative that we have correct details on file. Parents do not use this directly.
NFORMA Portal
We are using this portal as our main parent/school communication tool. This is a web based and app based platform.
(Prep 2025 families new to the school will have access from 21st January 2025)
To login on the web, go to: https://portal.nforma.com.au/login

App installation:
CDFpay (as mentioned above in P&F section)
