The Parent Portal and Payments
Families' usage of the Parent Portal is steadily increasing and we appreciate your support while we navigate the most effective procedures to suit our community's needs.
While we are endeavouring to keep all platforms of communication as up to date as possible with school advice, excursion information and payment requests and appreciate your patience during periods of staff shortages and time constraints. Please remember, additional copies of notes sent home can still be found on the CPS website in the CPS Dropbox tab within the 'Notes sent home' folder. They can also be found on the Parent Portal in your news feed.
With regard to payment options, we have heard from many families, for them, the Portal is the easiest method of payment. We do however, have some restrictions in the way we can create payment requests for whole school or cohort activities.
Going forward, for payment requests with a variable payment amount, the school will generate an invoice run with a nominal amount and advise to "AMEND PAYMENT TO MATCH YOUR ORDER". Payments can be adjusted to any amount lower than the invoice request, however for amounts above the invoice request, you will need to make and additional/separate payment on one of the other payment methods (Quickweb, EFTPOS over the phone or at the front office, Cash at the front office).
If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to contact the school on 6142 3580.
