Travel Arrangements
If you are making any change to your child's travel arrangements, please email quiadmin@arm.catholic.edu.au before 2pm
Uniform
Please ensure all uniform items are clearly named to assist us in returning items to students. Also please check the items that your child takes home as things are often misplaced at the bag hooks or bag racks and end up in going to a different home.
Please remember to explain all absences on Compass within 7 days of the absence. Once the 7 days passes, you will not be able to make any changes and this will be reflected in the end of semester school report.
If you child is absent, please jump on to Compass on the day. There are 2 messages sent out; 1 on the day between 9:30 and 10am and then every Friday at 11am as a reminder for the week.
SCHOOL FEES
Instalments are due on the 21st of each month, but regular payments can be made throughout the month if this is more suitable.
