Finance Transformation: Notice of Finance System Changes

In partnership with Catholic Education, Canberra & Goulburn (CECG), St Clare of Assisi Primary School is migrating to a new finance system, that will integrate with the Compass Parent Portal and Compass App. It is anticipated that St Clare of Assisi Primary School will begin to use this system in July, 2023.

The move to the new system will increase the integration of the school finances into Compass, with parents/caregivers also having visibility of financial transactions within Compass.

There will be changes to the design of fee statements, which will include a newly assigned BPAY Biller Code and Customer Reference Number (CRN), that will be issued to you once the system has migrated in July 2023 on your Term 3 fee statements.

The payment of school fees directly into a school bank account will no longer be possible in the new system, and the school bank account is being centralised across CECG.  If you make regular payment of school fees via Direct Debit, please note that these have been cancelled and you will need to ensure that you move to an alternative payment option.

From July 2023, BPAY will be the preferred payment method for the payment of student tuition fees and levies.  Most banks allow for regular recurring payment to be made via BPAY. For more information on how to enable ongoing payments using BPAY, please speak to your bank. 

 Payments can also be made online directly at the school office utilising cash or EFTPOS.  The following payment methods will no longer be accepted: 

• Direct debit 
• Direct bank deposit 
• Qkr! 

To assist with a smooth transition to the new system, can you please ensure that the school is aware of any updated contact details for your family. We appreciate your support during this transition. If you have any questions, please contact our school.
