Due to COVID-19, JSA has decided to continue NO CASH PAYMENTS for Term 1, 2021. The school currently has Qkr! (pronounced “quicker”), Credit Card facility (either over the phone, payment envelope or over the counter at Reception) BPay (contact Finance if you require your BPay Biller Code and Reference Number) and PayPal Donation on our website.
The first Donation Button can be found under News/Events – Fundraising; this is where you can pay for some fundraising events (i.e. Jacanarama, Virtual Easter Raffle, etc.).

Finance Payments
Finance Payments
These online payment systems will benefit both us as a school and you as a parent. You will be able to pay for items from the comfort of your own home and not need to worry about sending cash to school with your child.
If you haven’t already done so, you will need to sign up to Qkr! The instructions are in the attachment. The school also uses Qkr! for Senior Canteen on a Tuesday. This is the schools preferred method of payment.
We appreciate your cooperation in making our school a safer environment for staff and students.
