School News
TechnologyOne Update
The school has moved to a new Financial Management system, TechnologyOne, and adding enhancements to our Compass Student Information System. This is an exciting transition for our school and will result in more efficient electronic financial management for our school office.
School fee management will also move to TechnologyOne. Please be aware that:
- Your school fee statement and receipts for payments will look different.
- The school fee statement will be received monthly from TechnologyOne and will have a ‘balance carried forward’ showing any transactions that have occurred during the month rather than a detailed list of any transactions completed during the year due to the movement of the fees from the old financial system to TechnologyOne.
- All current BPay, Direct Debit and Centrepay arrangements will continue as normal and be electronically redirected to your new school fee account in TechnologyOne.
- After you receive your first statement from TechnologyOne, if you do pay via BPay we ask that you update the BPay details as per the new reference numbers on your statement.
As part of this change we will also have new features available in Compass. These will include:
- Visibility of your school fee account in the Parent Portal
- The ability to pay school fees and pay for events such as Year 6 Farewell Dinner and Diocsan and Mackillop Spoting Events via the Parent Portal
The school will provide you with further information on these Compass enhancements as they become available through out this term.
The school appreciate's your patience and understanding throughout the first few weeks of Term 4 as we move through this change.
Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the school office 46548900.
Mackillop Awards
Students who are eligible to receive a MacKillop medallion are asked to submit the required number of Principal awards to the school office no later than Friday, 22 November 2019.
Unfortunately awards submitted after this date cannot be accepted as sufficient time is required for the printing of award certificates
Camp Quality Puppet Show
On Monday, 11 November 2019 Camp Quality will visit our school and deliver a puppet show for all students. Students will watch vivacious and loveable puppets, Kylie, Dean and Melissa to help support children affected by cancer. The puppets despel myths and misconceptions that are commonly associated with the illness.
On this day, the school will have a crazy sock day where students can wear crazy socks in support of camp quality. A gold coin donation is asked from all students.
School Travel Pass
|
To assist with any enquiries you may receive regarding student travel applications, we have provided some information below. Applications for student travel in 2020 opened on Friday, 11 October 2019. Students progressing to year 3 and year 7 no longer need to re-apply if they: · are continuing at the same school · are residing at the same address · have not been sent an expiry notification from Transport for NSW. Where a student meets the new distance eligibility, the system will automatically update their entitlement. If they do not meet the new eligibility, they will receive an expiry notification via email. Students who have an entitlement approved under a medical condition which is due to expire will receive a notification advising them to re-apply. Term Bus Pass holders will receive a notification to re-apply. If students need to update their information or re-apply, they should go online to https://apps.transport.nsw.gov.au/ssts/updateDetails Applications need to be submitted before 31 December 2019 to ensure student entitlements are updated and their current entitlement/card is not cancelled. If their application is submitted after 31 December 2019, the system will automatically cancel an entitlement/card and a new one will need to be issued. |
