What is the School Bytes portal

The School Bytes portal provides flexibility for you to conveniently:

  • Make school payments online (including paying for multiple siblings at once)
  • Use a family credit to pay for an activity or school contributions
  • Download a receipt for payments made
  • View all historical payments in one place
  • Complete and submit digital permission notes
  • View the status of all permission notes
  • Give consent, sign forms and respond to attendance alerts
  • View the school calendar and news

This can be done where you want at any time: day or night.

Through the portal, you will easily be able to download a receipt once a payment has been

made and have access to view all historical payments when needed. Online payments are processed in real-time and can be viewed by school staff immediately.

While our preference is for payments to be made via the portal, we will still accept payment via cash, cheque & money order.
