Finance Transformation
As information comes to hand regarding the transformation to the new TechOne Finance system, we will send out information to keep you in the loop with how the system has changed and how hopefully moving forward we will be able to assist by sending to you useful 'how to' information.
Finance Transformation: School Fees and Billing System Changes
St John Vianney Primary School in partnership with Catholic Education, Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulburn (CECG), has now migrated to a new finance system to generate efficiencies that works alongside the Compass parent portal and Compass mobile application, giving parents/caregivers visibility of their financial transactions within Compass.
Additionally, changes will affect the way you pay student tuition fees, levies, and other payments.
School Fee Statement Changes
School fee statements will have a new look. A new Customer Reference Number (CRN) has been created and payment methods have been updated. A statement will be sent out shortly that will contain an updated BPAY Biller Code and CRN that will need to be utilised going forward.
Statements will be emailed to financially responsible account holders each month, so it is necessary to ensure that your information is updated in the Compass parent portal, including your address and current email address.
Payment Methods
To support the changes in the school finance system, BPAY is now the preferred payment method. You will receive your new statement shortly, which will contain the new BPAY Biller code and your new CRN.
Utilising these new unique codes will ensure that any payments made will be accurately assigned to your account.
BPAY payment scheduling is supported by most financial institutions. Please contact your bank for further details if required.
If you already have scheduled BPAY payment in place, it is important that you ensure these details are updated to use the new BPAY Biller Code and CRN.
Payments can be made through Compass, but this does cost the school transactional fees, reducing the funds available to support the school. Where possible, please pay school fees via BPAY or directly at the school office via cash or EFTPOS.
How to use BPAY
Your new fee statement will display a distinct BPAY logo which includes your BPAY biller code and Customer Reference Number with an example is pictured below.
Under the History tab, fee payers can view their account balance and transaction history. Please allow up to 24 hours for BPAY payments to appear on your account.
Thank you for supporting the school with these system changes and should you have any concerns please feel free to contact us.
