Sentral Finance

 Onboarding Resources For NSW Government Schools

 

Sentral Finance – Smart, integrated, and designed for NSW Schools

We know you'll value the benefits of our one-stop-solution for managing payments, fee requests, creating billing runs and reporting.

To help you understand the full capabilities of the module, we have created a series of helpful resources to guide you through every aspect of Sentral Finance.

 

YouTube Videos

To help you prepare for Sentral Finance, we have recorded a series of webinars covering a range of topics to help you get started.

These videos cover a range of topics including Student Fees, Transactions and Payments, Banking Processes, and guiding you through the Onboarding Checklist.  

 

User Guides

Our useful, easy-to-follow guides will support you every step of the way. 

We have created a series of user guides, quick reference guides and FAQs to assist you when learning how to complete you day-to-day finance administrative tasks.  

All of these helpful resources can be found in one convenient location on the Sentral Help Centre.

 

Additional Training

We are confident you will find our new functionality user friendly, however if you feel additional training is required or you would like specific 1:1 training for your school, we can provide paid training services to assist in the implementation and adoption of Sentral Finance. 

You can book in for these training services or find out more by clicking on this link below. 

 

Parent and Carer Communication Pack

To ensure a smooth transition, we have created a communication template that will help you inform your parent and carer community about the exciting move to Sentral Finance.

You can download the template, which you can customise and send to your school community. 

We have also put together an FAQ page specifically designed to support parents and carers with the transition to Sentral Finance.

 

 

Sentral for Parents Portal and App

To get the most out of Sentral Finance, we recommend that you are set up with the Sentral for Parents Portal and App to take advantage of the full functionality of our module. 

We have developed a range of downloadable guides and assets to help your school get started. These easy-to-follow guides provide step-by-step instructions on how to set up the Sentral for Parents Portal and App in your school.
