Paying for School Services

We use the My Child at School (MCAS) app as your central hub for everything you need to know about your child’s school life.

Through MCAS, you can view attendance, behaviour, messages, payments, trips, and clubs all in the same app. More services will continue to be added over time, meaning you only need one login for all school-related information and actions.

What MCAS offers

Provides real-time updates on attendance and behaviour.
Acts as your main hub for all school communications and updates.

MCAS makes it easier than ever to stay connected with your child’s school life.
