Edwards Buses for Students

Transport for NSW (TfNSW) has rolled out the Transport Connect Bus (TCB) Program to Armidale and is going live, delivering state of the art technology to rural and regional NSW to help customers plan their journey and receive real-time trip updates for buses. Students and parents now have the ability to plan their journey to and from school, and to track the location of the bus and estimated arrival times.  Please refer to the flyer below.

Clothing Pool

With the latest COVID restrictions we are unable to open the Clothing Pool.  Please contact the school office on 6772 4441 or smaadmin@arm.catholic.edu.au if there are uniform items you require from the Clothing Pool and we will check availability for you.  

Please make sure that you check and label or re-label clothing items so we can return items to their owners. Also please remember to rename items purchased from the Clothing Pool - if the previous owner's name is still on it, we will send it home with them!

We continue to find many items of unlabelled uniforms, often brand new, in our lost property baskets.  It is impossible to return these items to students and unnamed items are donated to the clothing pool.  

School Office Hours

The school office will be open on Thursday, 16 December and Friday, 17 December from 8 am to 4 pm.  At the start of next year the office will be open on Friday, 28 January 2022 and Monday 31 January 2022 from 12 noon to 4 pm, due to staff training in the mornings. 

Return to School 2022

Students in Year 1 - 6 return to school on Tuesday, 1 February 2022.  Kindergarten students will participate in individual Best Start Assessment prior to commencing their first day on Monday, 7 February 2022.
