Start with MOE’s eGIRO application page to set up payment of school and miscellaneous fees for your child’s primary, secondary or pre-university education. Check the current application instructions and your school’s payment notice before submitting. Knowing the fee amount and arranging the payment are separate tasks.
For a school example, Maha Bodhi School’s GIRO guide explains that parents may also opt to use the same account for enrichment programmes and school charges. Confirm which charges and authorisations apply at your own school; do not treat another school’s page as your child’s bill.
A simple payment checklist can save a second round of admin: the child’s school, the bill, the account holder and the status of the arrangement. After applying, check what to do about any payment due before the arrangement is confirmed. Ask the school rather than assume an application has already settled a bill.

Practical checks before you act
Identify the bill you are paying
Keep school fees, miscellaneous fees and other charges clearly labelled in your notes. Use your child’s actual bill to establish what is due. A fee checker helps explain a structure, but a current school notice helps resolve a particular payment question.
Follow the account holder’s application route
Read the current eGIRO instructions with the person whose bank account will be used. Check the names and student details carefully before submission. If the digital route does not fit your situation, ask the school which approved alternative applies.
Check any additional authorisation
The Maha Bodhi guide distinguishes school fees from the option to pay enrichment and school charges through the same account. When another payment appears, ask whether it falls within the arrangement you authorised. Keep that question separate from whether the charge itself is correct.
Review a failed or unexpected deduction
As a practical check, compare the notice, payment period and account transaction. Ask the school to confirm the outstanding balance and next payment method before paying again. Keep the relevant reference number so the office can investigate the specific item.
