Online Consent
In 2023 we will be moving to Online Consent Management to gain permission for student activities including excursions and extra-curricular activities. An invitation to join QParents will be emailed to all parents/guardians early in 2023.
Parents/guardians are encouraged to sign up for QParents as a matter of priority once the invitation is received. QParents gives parents/guardians access to online consent, report cards, timetables, attendance as well as viewing and paying invoices.
This online channel helps parents/guardians save time by giving them access to information about their school-aged children via a secure, online portal using their computer or mobile device.
You will be able to log in to QParents via their computer or mobile device to access a range of information about your child, including:
- Report cards and assessment
- Timetables and class times
- Attendance
- Finance
- Student consent

Payment of Fees and Levies
Levies apply to all students, irrespective of the category of enrolment in which they are enrolled. It is essential that subject fees are paid so that resources can be provided to teachers in the classrooms. This school ensures that classrooms are resourced well, and to a high standard. This cannot happen without your support.
As per the Terms and Conditions of the User Pays Scheme Agreement signed by parents prior to enrolment:
|
16. Non-payment of subject fees may result in debt recovery action in accordance with the Department's Debt Management procedure. In such cases, the Principal may: · Withdraw the student's participation in the User Pays Scheme · Withhold the provision of any further items under the User Pays Scheme · Exclude the student from optional, non-curricular activities and/or · Initiate debt recovery action |
If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please contact our Accounts Management Officer on 3291 4213 early in the year to set up a Payment Plan. A Payment Plan allows you to pay fees gradually, however, must be paid in full by the end of Term 3 of the same year. By contacting us early, you can ensure your child's extra-curricular and recreational activities are managed responsibly.
This school has always operated under a ‘user pays’ system for all extra-curricular activities. In 2023 we will be enforcing the ‘no pay no play’ rule when it comes to participation in extra-curricular activities. No student with outstanding fees will be permitted to trial for any extra-curricular programs. Financial status will be checked prior to trial dates, based on EOIs for the following term activities so if you have outstanding fees from previous years, I recommend you contact our Accounts Management Officer as soon as possible to arrange a payment plan.
