Invoices for the Term 2 Gala Days were raised for year 5 and 6 students on Thursday 3 April 2025. If you have not received an invoice for your student, please contact the office for support.
Invoices have been raised for students with overdue library books. If you receive an invoice for an overdue library book, please ensure prompt payment to ensure your student is able to recommence borrowing. Invoices are raised for overdue library books once they are 2 months past the return date. To avoid being invoiced please remind students of the importance of returning their books on time.
Did you know you can use the BPOINT link on School invoices to make multiple payments? Simply click the link on your invoice and enter the nominated amount you wish to pay in that transaction. You can repeat this process until the invoice has been paid in full. This can be useful when paying for larger expenses like school camps. If you happen to lose track of the remaining balance just reach out to the front office and they will be able to provide the outstanding amount for you. You can also check for outstanding amounts through QParents.
Please ensure to use QParents or the BPOINT link on invoices to make payments to the school. If payments are received directly to the bank account you must use your students EQ ID number as the reference, without this the payment will not be able to be matched to the student or applied to an invoice.
If you have made a payment directly into the school bank account this year, please contact the front office with the details (date, amount and account name) to check if an unknown payment is yours.
If you have a credit on your student/s account, please contact the office requesting it be applied to an invoice/s on your student/s account. Credits on student accounts are unable to automatically be applied to invoices by the school.
Has your student/s been invoiced for an excursion or event that they are not participating in? If so, could you please ensure to let our friendly front office team know by emailing them at admin@aspleyss.eq.edu.au to advise of your students' non-participation. This will assist us in ensuring that your students' financial accounts are cleared of the invoices.
Should your family be experiencing financial hardship, please contact me via BSM@aspleyss.eq.edu.au to discuss payment plan options.
Year 4 Online Consent

This will not only allow you to provide digital consent to various activities, you are also able to notify the school of Past, current or future absence. In QParents you can also review and make payment on invoices for your student.
