From the Business Office
Firstly, we trust you were able to take a break over the school holiday period. No matter how short or long, it is important to recharge those batteries in preparation for another busy year. I would like to welcome back all returning SCEGGS families and provide a very warm welcome to new families joining us in 2025. We trust you will enjoy being a member of the SCEGGS community!
In this first issue of Behind the Green Gate for 2025, I would like to mention some important points from the Business Office:
2025 School Fees
The fee account for Term 1, 2025 was emailed to families in November last year. We send the Term 1 fee statement out early to allow for cashflow planning. If you have not received the email (or have perhaps misplaced it among other emails!) please contact the Business Office on 9332 1133 or email Accounts Receivable to arrange a copy to be emailed.
The first account is due for payment on Thursday 30 January 2025. SCEGGS greatly appreciates the payment of fees on or before the due date which provides us with certainty of cashflow. SCEGGS invoices tuition fees each term and we do understand the amounts are significant. If you would prefer to smooth your cashflow or line up fee payments with your cash inflows, you have the ability to pay amounts on to your SCEGGS fee account at regular intervals (eg monthly or fortnightly).
Future invoices for 2025 tuition fees will be emailed in April, July and September. For planning purposes, fees are always due on the first day of term.
A final invoice for any supplementary charges will be emailed in November.
Student Accident Insurance
The School maintains a personal accident insurance policy which covers all students enrolled at SCEGGS. If your daughter suffers an injury while at school or while participating in a school activity, we will gladly assist in completing the claim forms and associated documents for insurance purposes. You will see a charge of $30 per girl on your Term 1 statement for the insurance coverage.
School Shop and Flexischools
I am pleased to advise we have extended the use of Flexischools to the School Shop. You are now able to purchase items of school uniform online via your Flexischools account – using either money on your Flexischools account or credit card via the secure portal. Current SCEGGS families accustomed to using Flexischools for cafeteria purchases will see the “Shop” option when they log in to Flexischools. Elsewhere in this newsletter, we provide instructions on how to establish a Flexischools account for use at both the cafeteria and the School Shop which will assist new families as well as existing families who may not have previously used Flexischools.
If you have any queries or concerns about your SCEGGS fee statements, student insurance or any other finance related matter, please feel free to contact the Business Office by email or phone so we can assist.
