Online payment is made from the student's login on the web, through the school's own payment gateway, and the receipt then shows up in the app. You can also pay by bank transfer to the account shown in the app, or at the school counter. See what students see for how the online payment works.

In the parent login on the web. Result shows your child's results by session and term, Attendance Details lists each day and period with P, A or L, and Student Report gives the attendance total and percentage for any dates you choose.

One parent login covers them. On the web, Attendance Details lists each child by name, and your Messenger contacts include the staff of each child's class.

In the app's Fee screen you choose which child's fees, bank details and receipts to look at.
