Office news and requests

Absence from school.

Every day that your child is absent from school, you need to either use PAM to notify us of their absence or call or email the office. If you know that they will be absent for more than one day, just let us know.

If your family is going travelling, please email the office with the dates the child/ren are going to be absent.

If the office does not know the reason for the absence, expect a phone call!

New Address?

Whenever your family moves, you need to inform the office of your new address. 

It is important that our school records are kept up to date. All it takes is an email or a quick phone call. So, if you have moved since your child enrolled, give the office a call.

Has your Visa Changed?

Please notify the office of any visa or residency or naturalisation/citizenship changes when they happen. When your child's passport expires, please provide a copy of the new passport.

If your child's Visa expires and you have not provided details of the new Visa, expect 

a phone call.  

Fees.

Fee Statements have been sent out via email this week. 

Thank you to all families who are making regular payments.

If you have not yet made a payment in 2026, please do so immediately. The office will be calling all non fee payers.

Camps, Sports & Excursion Fund.

If you are the holder of a Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card or a Health Care Card, you may be eligible to receive a small grant from the Government which will be put towards the costs of your child’s excursion, swimming or camp fees each year.

If you do hold one of the cards pictured, please either download the form below or collect a form from the office and return it to school before  June 1st with a copy of your card. Copies may be emailed to office@spclayton.catholic.edu.au or copied at the office.

The funds are received by the school later in the year and will be credited towards the Health, Sports and Wellbeing component of your fees. If your child is due to go on Camp this year, then the funds will be used to cover some, or all, of the costs of Camp. 

If you have any queries, please see Ms Margaret in the Office.
