It is important payments for excursions and school activities are paid by the due date. The college needs this time to prepare for the excursion e.g. preparation of rolls, confirmation of buses, confirmation of numbers of students attending, medical requirements. We will be unable to accept late payments for excursions/activities. If you are unable to make payment by the due date please contact the Business Manager to discuss payment plan options. This policy must be enforced to ensure the safety of our students.
IMPORTANT: Students are eligible to attend a user-paid excursion if their Student Resource Scheme (SRS) payment for the year has been made OR an agreed payment plan is being adhered to by the family as per agreement. A student will be ineligible to attend, if SRS agreements with the school are not current or not up to date. Please contact Administration for further assistance with these matters.

Students are not to be given cash in envelopes to pay for any school activities. If you are unable to pay via QKR app, BPoint, EFTPOS or credit card please see the office.
Phone
Education Queensland has implemented a new compulsory payment process for paying by debit/credit card over the phone.
As of January 2018 you are able to make your debit/credit card payments through IVR (Interactive Voice Response). The Commonwealth Bank have turned off all schools access to imputing credit card numbers through our EFTPOS machine (without the card).
Parent process: after receiving an emailed invoice, parents call 1300 631 073 and enter their CRN (from the invoice), amount and credit card details to complete payment. At the end of the call you will be provided with a unique payment receipt number.
Refunds
As the school budget cannot meet any shortfalls in funding for an excursion or camps due to the subsequent non-participation of a student who had previously indicated attendance, fees already paid for an excursion or camp may be refunded in full or in part or not at all, having regard to the associated expenses incurred and the circumstances of the non-participation.
If a parent/caregiver wishes to apply for a refund, they may do so by completing a Request for Refund form available from the college office. It is preferred that refunds be made as a credit against the student's account at the college, and used for any cost in the future.
