Sentral and Compass

Sentral remains our main Student Management System for attendance explanations, parent-teacher interview bookings, accessing reports, timetables, and daily notices.

We will only use Compass for excursions, permission, and payments.

Qkr! remains available for purchasing school uniforms, EVET payments, and calculators until further notice.

School Fees and Billing System Changes

Carroll College in partnership with Catholic Education, Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulburn (CECG), has now migrated to a new finance system to generate efficiencies that work alongside the Compass parent portal and Compass mobile application, giving parents and guardians visibility of their financial transactions within Compass.

Additionally, changes will affect the way you pay student tuition fees, levies, and other payments.

School Fee Statement Changes

School fee statements will have a new look. A new Customer Reference Number (CRN) has been created and payment methods have been updated. A statement will be sent out shortly that will contain an updated BPAY Biller Code and CRN that will need to be utilised going forward.

Statements will be emailed to financially responsible account holders each month, so it is necessary to ensure that your information is updated in the Compass parent portal, including your address and current email address.

Payment Methods

To support the changes in the school finance system, BPAY is now the preferred payment method. 

You will receive your new statement shortly, which will contain the new BPAY Biller code and your new CRN. Utilising these new unique codes will ensure that any payments made will be accurately assigned to your account. 

BPAY payment scheduling is supported by most financial institutions. Please contact your bank for further details if required. If you already have scheduled BPAY payments in place, it is important that you ensure these details are updated to use the new BPAY Biller Code and CRN. 

Payments can be made through Compass, but this does cost the school transactional fees, reducing the funds available to support the school. Where possible, please pay school fees via BPAY or directly at the school office via cash or EFTPOS.

Year 7 – 10 Progressive Assessment Tests (PAT)

Years 7 to 10 students will be completing their online Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT) for Reading and Mathematics in Week 5 and 6.

PAT assessments provide objective, norm-referenced information to teachers about their students’ skills and understandings in a range of key areas. Each PAT has its own proficiency scale with descriptors outlining the content and skills students are consolidating at any given point on that scale. Each PAT assessment provides data on student performance, making PAT ideal for understanding students’ current strengths and weaknesses, informing teaching and learning, and monitoring progress over the year. The tests are online, multiple choice and each test will take approximately 40 minutes. I encourage all students to do their best during these tests as the data will be used by their class teachers.
