Christian Brothers College

Case Study - Christian brothers college

How School EasyPay and Synergetic made payments faster and easier for both the College and parents.

Background

Christian Brothers College is a proud Catholic College in the Edmund Rice tradition, with a community built on Faith, Excellence, Community and Compassion. Located in South Australia, the College supports around 965 students and 800 families, and has used Synergetic as its school management system since implementing School EasyPay in 2024.

The College wanted a centralised, modern payment portal that was secure, easy for families to use, and backed by a proven provider, one that could support families through every stage of their son’s education at CBC.

School Easypay has significantly modernised and improved the fee collection process at Christian Brothers College, Adelaide. The system is secure, user-friendly, and highly flexible, offering a range of payment options to meet the diverse needs of families, including the ability to manage split-payment arrangements. Its effectiveness and convenience have contributed to steadily increasing adoption and acceptance across our school community.

implementation process

Easy Implementation

The implementation process took six months from sign-up to going live, allowing time to ensure all families, were on board. Throughout the process, Kane and the School EasyPay team provided hands-on support to guide the College through setup.

Parent Communication

CBC communicated the change to parents through a range of existing communication channels, with a three-month lead time to prepare families for the transition. While the initial change took some adjustment, with some parents reluctant to shift from familiar payment methods, the College provided flexibility for those nearing the end of their child's education.

Operating Seamlessly

Automated direct debit, parent self-service, and timely reporting have made the biggest difference to CBC's day-to-day operations. These features have also improved the College's monthly cash flow, creating a smoother and more predictable fee collection process.
