St Michael’s Community College operates a cashless payment system wherever possible through our secure online payment platform, Way2Pay. Moving to a cashless system helps to:

  • improve convenience for families
  • reduce the need for students to carry cash to school
  • provide clear electronic receipts and payment records
  • support transparency and accountability in the handling of school funds
  • ensure secure and efficient processing of payments

All school-related payments, including trips, activities and other school charges, are issued through the school’s approved payment and communication systems. Parents and guardians will receive payment requests through official school communication channels, including school text message, the the Way2Pay platform or the school's administration email, stmichaelscckilmihil@lcetb.ie

Parents and guardians are asked not to send cash into school with students unless specifically requested by the school office.Using the school’s approved payment systems helps to ensure accurate receipting, transparency and the secure management of school funds.
