Changes to School Fees Correspondence Methods

Feedback received from some people who responded to the recent parent survey has prompted the College to plan improvements in the way in which we communicate regarding school fees.

Over time, we plan to provide more information to parents and guardians, whilst aiming to reduce the College’s carbon footprint. To achieve these improvements and efficiencies, we will rely more on communicating electronically.

The first step in this process is to send school fee invoices and statements via email, rather than in hard copy. The ultimate goal is to provide electronic school fee account information in real time via the parent portal. Doing so will enable parents to view their account status at any time without the need for hard copy and historical print outs.

In the coming weeks and months the College will review its database to ensure that every family has an email address and we will endeavour to check that the address is both current and appropriate for emailing school fee account information.

If you know that the College does not have an email address for you, or the email address is out of date or not appropriate for the emailing of school fee account information, please contact either Ms Coral Balmer or Mrs Pina Biazzo via the Reception telephone number (9568 9333) to provide the new email address.

I’m confident that we will ultimately improve the supply of information to parents and others and I look forward to your assistance in us achieving that goal.
