Background
Marist College Ashgrove is a Catholic day and boarding school for young men from Year 5 through to Year 12. Guided by the Marist charism and the college motto, Viriliter Age (Act Courageously), the college supports a community of 1,487 families, educating 1,610 day students and 162 boarders. Across total enrolments of 1,766 students, the college remains dedicated to inspiring boys to love, learn, lead and serve.
The challenge
Following the implementation of TASS in 2019, Marist College Ashgrove adopted automated payments to solve key operational challenges. Before School EasyPay, the finance team was dealing with:
- Manual direct debit set-ups
- Data security risks
- Limited reporting
- A poor parent user experience
With School EasyPay, Marist College Ashgrove has reclaimed valuable administration time and significantly boosted cash flow.

In their words
“The main change we’ve seen is the streamlined processing… we’re getting higher success rates in receiving our payments, also some parents are emailing before I even know that their payment has been declined, so the communication from the system is great…”
“Definitely do it… like any project it will have some set-up time, but it will pay benefits with the integration, without having the receipts having to be manually uploaded.”
