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 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.

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.

Overdue Library Invoices
Invoices were raised for Students with overdue library books in weeks 1 and 2 this term. Thank you to those families who have since returned the library books or made payment of the invoices. If your student has overdue library book/s they will be restricted with the number of books they can borrow until all books are returned or the overdue invoice has been paid.

Class teachers are provided with a list of student’s overdue books and remind them regularly to search for and return the books. We ask that you remind your student/s of the importance to keep their library books in a safe location and return them when due back.

If you receive an invoice for the overdue books, please contact Mrs Harvey on npear34@eq.edu.au for more information.

If you have been invoiced and later return the book/s, the invoice will be removed from your student/s account. If an invoice has been paid and the book is later located, the book is then yours to keep.

Invoicing for Excursions and Camps

I would like to remind families of the process for invoicing school excursions and camps. The school will send the permission forms home to families through QParents, with paper copies provided to those not registered. Once the permission due date has passed, permissions are compiled and invoices raised for those with permission to attend. These invoices are typically raised the day following the permission end date. 

Student Resource Scheme

Term 2 SRS instalment invoices were raised Tuesday 20 May and are due for payment on 20 June 2025. Late SRS invoices continue to be raised for those who have returned the payment agreement form for 2025. If you are yet to complete and return this form please ensure to do so as soon as possible and return to the office. 

The Payment Agreement Forms can located on the school website. Please ensure the Payment Agreement Forms are complete in blue or black pen, not digitally signed as we are unable to accept digital signatures per Departmental Policy.

If you have not yet created a QParents account and linked your student, one can easily be created. This will allow you to provide digital consent to various activities, notify the school of past, current or future absences, view report cards and pay invoices.

A Registration Process Guide for Parents can be located on our website.

When creating an account, you will require your student's EQ ID number and 100 points of ID. Your student's EQ ID number can be located on invoices raised by the school, report cards or by contacting the school office.

Should you not have the required points of ID, please visit the school office with your ID for the team to approve your account.

Medications for Excursions and Camps

Reminder of requirements for medication on camps: 

• Parents must have a ‘Consent to administer medication’ form completed by your Doctor (GP or specialist) for each requirement medication, including over the counter medication such as paracetamol and ibuprofen. Remember to ask for a script while getting the documents completed.
• Medications need to be in the original packaging with the chemist label (Parents to  make sure the chemist label matches the dose and information provided by the GP on the ‘Consent to administer medication’ form).
• Provide relevant labelled items required to administer the medication such as:  measuring syringe, pill cutter, spacer etc. 
• Provide completed consent to administer medication form, medication and        administering items to the front office between 8am to 9am the morning prior to  camp.
• Collect medications from the front office the week following the excursion or camp.  Medications are unable to be sent home with students and must be signed as collected by a Parent or Caregiver.

The school is unable to accept and store medication outside the above timeframes for excursions and camps. If storage of medications is required, due to extenuating circumstances, prior to the allocated drop off time please contact the office for approval.

Facilities

There are two designated disability car parks in the top car park. We remind our community to only use the designated carparks if a disability parking permit is held by the driver and clearly visible in the front window.

Animals on School Grounds

As much as we enjoy seeing family pets join morning drop off and afternoon pick up, we would like to remind families animals are not permitted on school property. The Department only permits service animals on school property. Please ensure if walking to school with a family pet they remain outside school grounds.

School Photos

MSP have advised the school should receive the photos in 2 to 3 weeks. Once the photos have been received by the school, they will be provided to class teachers for students to take home. If you have any questions or would like to order late photos please contact MSP directly on 07 3865 4291 or via admin.brisbane@msp.com.au.

Lost Property

Please remind students to regularly check lost property for any missing items. The lost property boxes are located at the undercover at the Hall between the Uniform Shop and Tuckshop. All items are to be clearly labelled with student’s names to assist in returning lost items to class teachers and students. At the end of year any items remaining in lost property will be donated to the Uniform Shop, charity or disposed of.

The office still has the following lost property in the front office, if you believe any of these items are your students please collect from the front office during opening hours.
