Dear Parents and Carers,

A gentle reminder that all absences must be explained within 7 days otherwise they will automatically move into 'unexplained' and cannot be retrieved. These days will be reflected in the students school reports. It is easy to do via Compass and is best done on the day so the task is not forgotten.

Changes to afternoon arrangements

Please send any changes for afternoon arrangements through to quiadmin@arm.catholic.edu.au rather than personal email addresses, just in case that person is away for the day. Changes need to be made by 2pm to allow time to enter them on to our travel list and share them with the children.

Tea Towel Fundraiser

Orders have been closed and printing of our beautiful 2020 Christmas tea towels will begin soon. Thank you very much to everyone who supported this fundraiser. We hope you enjoy your fun and quality tea towels when they arrive.

Thank you to those families who pay their fees promptly; this helps so much with our school budget. ADIG have made changes to the Direct Debit dishonour process and letters went home to those with a Direct Debit on Thursday, 29 October, 2020. If you are experiencing difficulty paying your school fees, please make an appointment to speak with our Principal, Mrs Pauline Long, ASAP.
