In the very fast paced world we live in, we understand the need for you, our parents/carers to have the flexibility to make payments outside of school hours and furthermore, the ability to receive and respond to communication at a time that best suits your needs.
As a result, we are excited to announce our school will be engaging the services of School Bytes who offers a simplified digital system for school payments and parent/carer communication.
Changes you can expect
- The students Statement of Account and payment reminders will be sent directly to parents/caregivers via email.
- Emails will be sent to you from noreply@mail.schoolbytes.education.
- The student's Statement of Account email will include the make a payment button that will take you to the school's online payment portal.
- If the activity involves a cost, the make a payment button will allow you to pay securely, quickly and easily via credit or debit card after granting permission (Visa and Mastercard only).
- Online forms including permission notes, will be sent to you directly via School Bytes with a link enclosed. Select the link to open the secure online form.
