Dear Parents/Carers

Next week St John’s will be moving to a new Financial Management system, TechnologyOne, and adding enhancements to our Compass Student Information System. This is an exciting transition for our school and will result in more efficient electronic financial management for our school office. 

School fee management will also move to TechnologyOne. Please be aware that:

• Your school fee statement and receipts for payments will look different
• The school fee statement you receive from the new financial system will have a ‘balance carried forward’ and any transactions that have occurred during the month rather than a detailed list of any transactions completed during the year due to the movement of the fees from the old financial system to TechnologyOne
• All current BPay, Direct Debit and Centrepay arrangements will continue as normal and be electronically redirected to your new school fee account in TechnologyOne
• After you receive your first statement from TechnologyOne, if you do pay via BPay we ask that you update the BPay details as per the new reference numbers on your statement

As part of this change we will also have new features available in Compass. These will include:

• Visibility of your school fee account in the Parent Portal
• The ability to pay school fees and pay for events such as excursions via the Parent Portal

We will provide you with further information on these Compass enhancements when they become available next week.

Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the school office. We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout the next few weeks as we move through this change.
