School Bytes flyer

There is a School Bytes app - but you can also use School Bytes online via the portal website

https://portal.schoolbytes.education/

Please contact the school office if you need help with setting up School Bytes.  Visit between 8:30am and 3:00pm, phone or email.

 

What Is School Bytes?

The School Bytes app/portal provides the functionality for you to:

  • Explain absences or notify us of future absences
  • See the new calendar, which includes all events
  • Give permission online for excursions and events
  • Check the status of all permission notes (to make sure you have done it)
  • Make school payments online (including paying for multiple siblings at once)
  • Use a family credit to pay for an activity or school payments
  • Download a receipt for payments made and view all of your payment history
  • See details of the activity – never lose a school excursion note again!

 

Using the School Bytes Portal

  • Please ensure your email address and contact details are up to date with the school.  If you need to change, check, or add an email address, please contact the school.
  • To access the School Bytes portal or app you will need to set up an account when you use it for the first time by clicking/tapping on the “create a new account”.   At the bottom of the screen is a link to “User Guides” for extra help if needed.
  • Ensure emails sent to you from noreply@mail.schoolbytes.education are not marked as spam/junk in your email system.
  • Permission notes and fees will be sent to your email, simply click the link to give open the secure online form to give permission and pay.  If the activity involves a cost, the "make a payment" button will allow you to pay securely, quickly and easily via credit or debit card after granting permission (Visa and Mastercard only). To use a credit, go to the payments tab in the app/portal.
  • The student Statement of Account and payment reminders will be sent directly to parents/caregivers via email.  The Statement of Account email will include the make a payment button that will take you to the school's online payment portal.
  • Online payments are processed immediately and can be viewed by school staff straight away.
  • While our preference is for payments to be made via the portal, we will still accept payment via cash and EFTPOS at the school office.

Making "Other Payments"

You can make payments for other items like school uniform items and selected P&C fundraisers via School Bytes.

You do not need to use the app (but it is easy to do so that way).  You can use the School Bytes portal website on a computer or phone/device without using the app.

Once you have logged in and connected to your students, go to: 

  • Payments
  • Add other item

For uniform items, please phone or email school, as we are not alerted of payments.  Let us know the sizes required and whether you want them sent home with children or you will collect from the office.
