The Catholic Education Office and its system of Schools are in the process of a business transformation.  Part of this transformation involves a new administration and accounting package being rolled out to Schools.  As you would be aware our School has been introducing Compass as our administration system over a period of time.  It is now fully functioning together with a new web based accounting system called Technology One.

This will allow for School Fees in 2020 to be invoiced centrally by the Catholic Education Office under advice from Schools.  Additionally, families will still be offered the opportunity of paying their school fees by regular payments over the school year as is the existing practice. However, the new system also allows for instalments to be calculated and advised to families with a Schedule of Payments and the date that they are due.  This replaces our current process of School Fee Agreements and the necessity for families to calculate their own payments.

With the introduction of the new system, we now have the ability to generate system reminders for late payments. Should you default in your payments, reminders will be issued for each payment missed and they will continue to be issued until your account is brought up to date.

You will also have the opportunity to contact the school, if necessary in these circumstances, to provide explanation and make a further arrangement for payment.
