Library News
Over the long break, our library received a fresh coat of paint and brand-new shelving! Due to unexpected delays, our shelving arrived later than planned. Although we were able to welcome students back to the library after the second week of term, the space remained a work in progress.
We are now making the library more inviting by displaying framed student artwork and adding indoor plants to complement our bright, open environment. Click on the link below to see a short video which showcases the transformation from the beginning of the year to the welcoming space we have today.
A huge thank you to our wonderful Parents and Friends community for helping fund part of our new shelving. Your dedication and past fundraising efforts have made a significant difference in updating our library, and we truly appreciate your support!
Looking ahead to next term, we plan to re-upholster some of our well-loved library furniture, initially purchased in 2005, ensuring comfort and longevity for years to come.
Thank you for being part of our library’s journey!

Student Services
As you can appreciate, Student Services is a very busy area at all times of the day. We ask that parents do not use the College Office as a post office to pass items onto other students. We would appreciate parents, carers and students finding alternative methods of delivering and receiving second-hand purchases and other items.
Collection Notice
The Australian Government Department of Education would like to notify our families that they have requested Mount Carmel College to provide residential address and other information.
Under the Australian Education Regulations 2023, the school is required to provide the department with the following information about each student at the school:
names and residential addresses of the student’s parent(s) and/or guardian(s)
student residential address (excluding student names)
whether the student is a primary or secondary student (education level)
whether the student is boarding or a day student (boarding status).
The school collects the above information by generating a unique and unidentifiable student reference number (SRN) for each student record. The school only uses the SRN for this collection. The SRN cannot be used for any other purpose. The number only indicates to the department that each record provided is for one student.
