Dear Parents and Carers,
It is now possible for parents to make online payments to the school for amounts owing for students, via a secure payment page hosted by Westpac. Payments can be made using either a Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card. The payment page is accessed from the front page of the school's website by selecting the tab $ MAKE A PAYMENT. The school's website address is www.springfarm-p.schools.nsw.edu.au and is printed at the top of the school newsletter.
Items that can be paid include all excursions, sales to students (e.g. Book Packs), Sport and Creative and Practical Arts activities. There is also a category called Other which can be used to cover items not covered in the previous headings. Book Club is the only payment that cannot be made using this system. Please continue to pay directly online to Scholastic.
When you access the $ Make a payment you must enter:
• the student's name, class and date of birth .
These details are entered each time you make a payment as student information is not held within the payment system. There is also the option to enter the student registration number, reference and invoice number but these details can be left blank.
This is a secure payment system hosted by Westpac to ensure that your credit/debit card details are captured in a secure manner, these details are not passed back to the school.
You have the ability to check and change any details of the payment before the payment is confirmed. If you are paying on the closing date of an excursion or activity the permission note must be received in the office by the closing date to ensure participation in the excursion or activity. Online payment must be made before 6pm on the closing date to ensure inclusion. Multiple payments may be made for the same student but a separate online payment must be processed for each individual student. Parents are not charged a fee for these separate transactions. There is an option to email and/or print receipts.
Details of the payments are passed to the school the day following payment where they will be receipted against your child's account. As a receipt has been issued from the online payment page a further receipt will not be issued by the school. It is a legal requirement that a signed permission slip for all activities is provided and the online receipt number should be written on the permission slip.
For any enquiries regarding the Parents Online Payment process please contact the School Administrative staff.
