SCHOOL FEES

Parents would have received their accounts last week and you are encouraged to pay them as quickly and as best as you can manage. Meeting these commitments is very important in the smooth running of resources and financial expenditure for the school.

COMPASS REMINDER

PLEASE DO NOT REPORT PARTIAL ABSENCES through the Compass App.  Reporting partial absences will cause inconsistencies with your chid's attendance.
  • Please continue to email the school or contact the office to explain partial absence.
  • A Parent or guardian must explain a partial absence
  • SMS's are sent to parents of students who are absent each weekday morning
  • Please phone the office to explain your child's absence
  • Please do not respond by text, the Compass system does not accept text messages.
  • If you notify the office beforehand that your child will be late, you will still receive an SMS.
  • All students must report to the office if they arrive late.  
  • On occasion you may be sent a text message even though your child is in attendance at school, this may be because they have arrived late and have not reported to the office. If this is the case please feel free to contact the office to verify.

It has been noted that some parents have updated their mobile phone number by taking out the gaps within the phone number.  This is not required and may make  receiving compass messages  invalid until the matter is fixed from the office.
