School-based students

District High and Senior High School Enrolments

Participation arrangements under section 24 of the Education Act 1999 enable students to be provided educational programs from SIDE as a service provider to the school. Schools will be invoiced for each student who is enrolled.

In RM Billing it is possible to associate all timetabled subjects with their respective costs. Creating a separate Billing Code for SIDE subjects allows users to easily reconcile amounts received for SIDE course charges. Schools should pay SIDE using Intra Department Payments from the D8950 account code range or by sending a single cheque.

Parents of students based in Primary Schools will receive an invoice.
