From the Counsellor
Kira Willey is a children's music artist, kid's yoga expert, and speaker. In this TEDx Talk, Kira explores how introducing 'Bite-Sized Mindfulness' at a young age can foster more positive experiences and environments in schools as children grow. By engaging in daily mindfulness practices, we train our brains to effectively regulate our emotions, creating a ripple effect that enhances our schools, social circles, and broader communities.

Update of Enrolment Form/Terms of Enrolment
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing the best possible educational experience, Catholic Education Tasmania has continued to monitor and revise the Enrolment Form/Terms of Enrolment used by Catholic schools. Some of these updates are a result of changes outside of Catholic Education Tasmania and the system is required to update some areas of the Enrolment Form/Terms of Enrolment to align with these requirements or changes. We will therefore be introducing several updates to the Enrolment Form/Terms of Enrolment, which will apply to all current enrolments continued in 2025 as well as to new enrolments from 2025.
A full copy of the updated Enrolment Form/Terms of Enrolment is attached for your information with the changes highlighted in yellow. The changes to the Enrolment Form/Terms of Enrolment are as follows:
- Minor adjustments and refinements to assist with completing the Enrolment Form.
- Inclusion of a new definition for Extra-Curricular Activities.
- Inclusion of participation in school sports in the definition for Minor Excursions.
- Inclusion of an additional clause 2.7 regarding cancellation of a Student’s enrolment.
- Inclusion of new information and clauses associated with fees and charges, including interest chargeable, purchases, equipment/property, and extra-curricular activities.
- The separation of Suspension and Termination into two separate clauses and new information provided under the Termination clauses.
- Updates to the Personal Information Collection Notice to align with updates in legislation requirements and use of information communication technology.
- Inclusion of a new clause covering the use of CCTV on Catholic School sites and TCEO sites and use of recordings of class activities/staff teaching class for the purposes of curriculum evaluation, review of education practices and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of students and staff.
- Inclusion of a new clause regarding the creation and maintenance of student user accounts for Microsoft products and/or Google Workspace for Education, due to changes by these product providers and our legal and child safety obligations.
The updated Enrolment Form and Terms of Enrolment will start to be used from Monday 13 January 2025. By continuing your child’s enrolment in 2025 from Monday 13 January 2025, you will be taken to have accepted these updates to the Enrolment Form/Terms of Enrolment.
If you have any queries about the updates, please contact the College Office on (03) 6216 7900 or via info@mountcarmel.tas.edu.au before the close of business on Friday 29 November 2024. We would be happy to discuss the incoming changes with you further.
