Payments can now be made using either Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card. You will need to click on Make a payment within the orange tab above. It will take you to the secure Westpac payment page.
When you access Make a payment, you MUST enter the student's name and date of birth.
These details are entered each time you make a payment, as student information is not held within the payment system. No student's details are given to Westpac. As a consequence, payments for each child need to be made separately. You must also enter details about who is paying. (There is also the option to enter the Student Registration Number and Invoice number, but these fields are NOT relevant to Balmain Public School.)
This is a secure payment system hosted by Westpac to ensure that your credit or debit card details are captured in a secure manner. These details are not passed back to the school.
Under payment options, you enter the activity or item for which you are paying. Write a title in the Payment description that will enable our office staff to match your payment with the school activity or item, for example, Footsteps program.
You have the ability to check and change any details of the payment before the payment is processed. You can print your own receipts or have the receipt emailed to your email account. This gives you immediate proof that you have paid for the item.
The next morning, details of the payments are passed to the school, where they will be matched against your child's account. As a receipt has been issued from the payment page, a further receipt WILL NOT be issued by us.
We hope this method will streamline payments and save parents time.
