EXCURSIONS - Consent and Payment

With such a large number of excursions happening at school it is important to remember that all permissions and payments must be made by the due dates.

The ladies in the office do a tremendous job of organising excursion rolls for our 928 students, some year levels have multiple activities happening in a very short space of time meaning sometimes there are over a thousand permissions and payments coming in at once. We work very hard to ensure that all students who have consent and have paid are able to attend the activities - we cannot contact individual parents to remind or request consent or payment.

To ensure consent and payment are received on time could parents/carers please assist by 

• Signing up for Qparents to do digital consents and payments 
• Giving consent and paying invoices by the due dates
• Directing any questions about invoices and payments to the office (not to teachers or other staff)

We encourage families to contact us if you are experiencing financial difficulties, please contact the school office if you would like to arrange a payment plan or discuss payment options.

A reminder that Non-payment of the SRS fee by designated payment date(s) may result in debt recovery action in accordance with the Department’s Debt Management procedure. In such cases, the Principal may:

• withdraw the student’s participation in the SRS
• require the return of items provided by the SRS
• withhold the provision of any further items under the SRS
• refuse participation in the SRS where participation fees are overdue from the previous year(s), and/or
• exclude the student from optional, non-curricular activities and/or
• initiate debt recovery action.
