School Bus Management  System

SBMS has completed its main churn for 2023 travel offers and they are now live and ready to be accepted by families. New applications will still be accepted.

 

Should students no longer require travel  families  need to decline offer or inform SBMS via email.

 

Please note if a student changes address or schools (campus included), then they will need to lodge a new application for 2023.

 

If families have any concerns or requests please  accept offers first then contact SBMS to look at making adjustments later in the term once offers have been accepted.

 

Families  will need to log back into your account to accept your 2023 travel offers.

Direct Debits

As we start to near the end of the year, some direct debtors will be getting close to finalising their account. If you are not a grade 6 leaving family your direct debit will continue throughout the year and into 2023. If you believe your account may start to accumulate a credit balance and you wish to end your direct debit for this year please contact the office and we will stop your direct debit for the remainder of 2022. Please feel free to contact the office at any stage to discuss your account or fee options.

 

IMPORTANT- An email has been sent to all parents (Prep-Gr5) to fill in a survey to update direct debit details for 2023 and to change the amount being deducted to fit with 2023 fees. Please phone the office if you can't find this email. A reminder has been sent today. If you have already completed this survey, please do not complete it again.

IMPORTANT: PAM Accounts

Over the Christmas holidays your PAM account will be updated to provide better security and allow for further functionality. This change will involve moving to a PAM account per parent rather than an account per family. To help us prepare for this change, please complete the survey sent to you via email. Please phone the office if you can't find this email. A reminder has been sent today. If you have already completed this survey, please do not complete it again.

SIMON Everywhere

SIMON Everywhere has released an updated version, if you could please upgrade to this new version of the app now, as the old version will no longer function. Please contact the office if you have any issues with updating or logging in.

 

Instructions for updating:

Ordering Uniform

Uniform has 2 major ordering dates each year:

Winter Orders- Week 5 Term 1

Summer Orders- Week 5 Term 3

The uniform shop does NOT keep stock on hand for ordering throughout the year, while we may have a few sizes available you will not be guaranteed your order will be filled if you choose to order throughout the year.

 

Ordering Uniform on CDF Pay

It has come to our attention that parents are having trouble ordering some stock on CDF Pay, this is because as mentioned above we do not keep every size on hand for purchase throughout the year.

However you can still order stock that is sold out, and we ask that you do so. This enables us to order the correct amount of uniform required when we place our Winter and Summer orders.

When you order a 'Sold Out' item you will see this message appear :

Please click 'OK' to continue with your order. We do not have this item in stock at present but we will be including it in our Winter or Summer order and you will receive this stock as soon as it arrives.

Thank you for your cooperation.
