Financial Information

  • Details of our online payment system can be found on our website homepage (top right button “Pay Online”) or here. When your details of our new students are uploaded we will text you to remind you to check our online payment system to ensure that all outstanding balances are paid. Please note that we do not use VSware for school payments.
    • The €50 admin covers the cost of student 24-hour insurance and operating costs of the school communication system. It contributes to other school costs including locker rental, printing, photocopying, phone calls and access to IT educational software for all students. We ask all parents to pay this cost for each student. Padlocks for lockers will be made available for all students when they start school.
    • A voluntary student contribution of €90 helps us to cover the costs of our active extra-curricular programme, end of year awards and other ongoing costs. Sibling discounts can be requested through the front office (2 siblings – pay €90+€45; 3 or more siblings pay €90+€45+€30+€0).

Your child’s timetable will be available when they arrive for induction and you can also view it on your parent VSware app when term starts.
