Dear Parents/Guardians,
In 2022, similar to 2021, Parents/Guardians will not be required to re-select a preferred payment method and frequency at the start of the school year.
The payment method (direct debit, or credit card, or BPAY) and frequency of payment (weekly, fortnightly, monthly, three instalments or annual upfront) that you had in place in 2021 will continue automatically in 2022.
The dates to note for payments (based on frequency) next year are:
1 upfront payment due on 31 January 2022 (2% discount); or
44 weekly payments starting on 3 February 2022; or
22 fortnightly payments starting on 3 or 10 February 2022; or
10 monthly payments starting on 2 February 2022; or
10 monthly payments starting on 17 February 2022; or
3 instalments (BPAY only) on 18 February 2022, 18 May 2022 and 18 August 2022
You will not be required to take any action, unless you would like to change the method of payment or frequency of payments. In which case, please contact the Accounts Receivable team on 9243 2103 or email accountsreceivable@ststephens.wa.edu.au as soon as possible.
If you wish to change your credit card, or bank account details, you are able to do this at any time throughout the year via the Parent Portal. Click on the ‘School Payments’ tab and select Manage stored cards and direct debits to bank accounts (https://edinfo.ststephens.wa.edu.au/ManageStoredCards.aspx).
On 11 January 2022 your annual fee invoice will be available for you to view on the Parent Portal in the ‘School Payments’ tab – select Statements and receipt history (https://edinfo.ststephens.wa.edu.au/fin.aspx).
All the best for the holidays and wishing you a Happy Christmas,
From the Accounts Receivable Team
