Midford Uniform Shop
Midford, the operators of our uniform shop, have decided to relocate all of their stock and store operations to York Street, Sandy Bay. Midford has provided a letter to parents and carers of the College explaining the change in their operating hours.
The letter is available for viewing at the following link.
This business decision will result in an extensive expansion of the operation times, with the store being open six days a week for you to access all uniform items.
Please note that the St Mary's College Uniform Shop will close on Thursday 31 October, and will reopen at the new premises on Monday 11 November.
If you require any further information about the above arrangements, please contact the College on (03) 6108 2560.

Catholic Education Tasmania has provided information regarding the changes to the current enrolment form. The suggested changes will come into effect from Monday 13 January 2025.
A link to the revised enrolment form and the terms of enrolment letter, which was sent to families last week, is provided below for your reference.
