ParentPay

We are a cashless school and all payments are made via our school system ParentPay.

This system incorporates the latest technology and eliminates the need to carry cash during the school day. Our school dinner system will recongnise a thumb or finger print of your child at the pay point and students will be provided with a PIN code to enable them to purchase food from our canteen. Please check and top up your child's dinner money account regularly.

Payments for school trips and other activities are also made using ParentPay.

More details on how to activate your ParentPay account will be emailed to parents at the beginning of the school term.
