Compass News
We would like to remind all parents that through Compass you can either give permission or decline permission now. We really need parents to fill in forms either way so we can process them more efficiently. There are also sometimes questions at the bottom of the permission notes that need to be answered to help with our enquiries.

Expression of Interest notes were sent home at the end of Term 1 to parents and carers of students in Years 5 and 6. Please note that these notes must be completed and the deposit paid for on Compass by the 6th of May.
Compass Pay is here! CompassPay is our payment and billing management system.
Please find all the information you need to sign up for Compass Pay in the link below. Using Compass Pay means you can give permission and pay for all sorts of events, excursions and sporting days in one place in Compass. This has taken over from Qkr! for sport events and excursions.
School Fees
Term 1 fees were due by Thursday, 31st March, 2022. Thank you to all who have already paid and also to those who maintain regular payments. If you haven't paid please try and clear your account by the end of this term, thank you. Payment options for school fees are still the same and include: via the Qkr App; EFT (payment made direct to the school's bank account); CentrePay and ADIG Direct Debit (all details are on your statement). The Qkr App will be used for school fees until our financial system is upgraded and then it will change over to CompassPay. If anyone is experiencing difficulties managing their school fees please ring and make an appointment to see Pauline and myself.
