Winter Canteen Menu

Next term the canteen will be serving the Winter Menu.  Please see the menu below.

Labelling of Uniform items

As the weather is starting to cool down we are seeing many jumpers, jackets and track pants in the Lost Property baskets.  These baskets are cleared regularly and clearly labelled items are returned to their owners.  It is impossible to return items that are unreadable or not labelled at all.  Your assistance in labelling ALL uniform items and food containers (both bottom and lid) is appreciated.    

Parking Zones around St Mary's

A reminder to please be mindful of the parking zones in the streets around St Mary's and check the parking signs in the school zone.  Below is the parking information from the Armidale Regional Council.

Winter Uniform

A reminder that students will need to wear their Winter School Uniform when Term 2 starts.

With COVID restriction changes we can now open our clothing pool on Friday mornings from 9am-10am.  A big thank you to our clothing pool co-ordinator Kylie.  Please contact the school office on 6772 4441 or smaadmin@arm.catholic.edu.au to book a time for an appointment, as the social distancing restrictions still apply due to COVID.
