All bookings and fees are processed via the Roll Call App.

CO-CURRICULAR PAYMENTS
The College provides a range of optional clubs and after school co-curricular activities which are charged separately to College fees e.g. Music tutoring, Dance Academy, Futsal, etc.
As co-curricular activities and other non-tuition payments are not included in College fees, they must be paid using the online payment link provided to parents by the club/activity co-ordinator.
The Events and Payments module in Parent Lounge is the most commonly used online payment platform for our co-curricular activities and there are no costs to parents for using this secure payment system.
As per the College Fee Policy, Parents/guardians are not permitted to enrol their student(s) in any co-curricular activities whilst fees and charges remain outstanding from previous terms, unless a formal payment agreement is in place.
