Pupil Free Day Tuesday 2nd April - Staff Development Day
Term 1 School Fees were due Friday 22nd March
Uniform Orders: if you are ordering uniforms through Compass, please send an email to quiadmin@arm.catholic.edu.au and we will send the items home with your child. We do not get a notification from Compass when orders are made so are not always aware when they come through.
This Email form is a new feature in the iNewsletter so we thought we would try it out this week.
Swap Shop
Thank you to the families who dropped off girls summer uniforms recently. We would love some more if anyone else has any - summer or winter uniforms!
Return and earn is back for our school on Wednesdays.
Michelle Cortis is coordinating the 2024 Return and Earn for our school. This will happen every Wednesday (Sports Day). This fundraiser was a huge success in 2022 so we hope to have the same result for 2024.
School Attendance: Please remember to explain your child's absence within 7 days. This is a legal requirement and already this year we have had to send paper notes out to parents as they are over the 7 day requirements. It is so much easier if you access Compass on the day and fill in the absent note section.
Afternoon Travel Arrangements: Please notify the school by email before 2pm of your child's travel changes. In an emergency you can call the office after this time.
Activities levy
The activities levy of $70/student can be paid in full or through a payment plan in CompassPay ie two instalments of $35, one due on Monday, 8th April, and the other on Monday, 24th June 2024. If you choose the payment plan you will have to make sure your credit card has not expired and that there are enough funds available to debit the charge on the day.
This levy will cover buses for swimming, athletics and cross country, pool entry, visiting performers/shows and a portion of the transport for a specialist music teacher. This does not include major excursions, Mothers/Fathers Day gifts, Year 6 Big Day Out, or Diocesan sport as these are user pay activities. All families are expected to pay this levy.
