Payment Policy for Extra-curricular activities
At North Shore State School we encourage students to participate in extra—curricular activities such as Interschool sport, excursions, and music. All students will be given a permission slip which provides details on the event and associated costs. Payments and permission slips must be returned by the due date to be able to participate. Due to deadlines for booking of buses and facilities, if payment has not been received by the due date then the position will be offered to the next person on the waiting list. Please note that late payments will no longer be accepted and screenshots of payments made will not be accepted as payments can reject for various reasons e.g. incorrect bank account or insufficient funds. Students will also not be able to participate if they have outstanding payments due. We appreciate your assistance in helping us to effectively plan these out of school excursions
Voluntary Financial Contribution Scheme
North Shore State School operates under a Voluntary Financial Contribution Scheme. A $50 per student contribution will enable us to provide students with access to current technologies including laptops, iPads and interactive whiteboards to ensure children are provided with optimum digital learning opportunities. Funds will also assist in supporting Teaching and Learning in both the classroom and the playground. Contributions can be made at the office by Cash, Eftpos – credit/debit card or can be made by direct deposit using the following details: BSB 064-796 Account number 10047751 (please note your child's name in the description/reference field).
BPOINT is the new preferred Payment Method for North Shore State School
North Shore State School now allows you to pay student invoices online rather than having to send in cash or pay via EFTPOS.
On the bottom of each invoice that you receive, the BPOINT payment method symbol will be displayed with a website link for you to visit and process your online payment (very similar to internet banking that you might currently utilise). You can use a credit or bank debit card to make a payment.
You do not need to register for BPOINT, simply visit the link detailed below and enter Customer Reference Number (CRN), invoice number, student name and exact amount of individual invoice.
The CRN will appear on school invoices and will not change.
BPOINT will issue you with a payment confirmation that you can email to yourself, or you can print or take a screen shot for your records. If you would like an official receipt, please request it from the school office.
You may still pay by cheque, cash, EFTPOS or credit card. BPOINT reduces processing work for office staff so is the preferred method.
