SCHOOL FEES
As we approach the end of the 2025 school year, we kindly remind all families that school fees must be paid in full by the 21 November 2025 as outlined in your Statement of School Fees.
Timely payment of fees ensures that the school can continue to provide high-quality resources, programs, and support for all students. If you have already settled your account, we sincerely thank you.
For those with outstanding balances, we ask that payment be made by the 21 November 2025.
If you are experiencing any difficulties or need to discuss a payment plan, please contact Mr Peter Flynn directly by emailing pflynn@arm.catholic.edu.au.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
VERITAS
Our Veritas Awards stem from our school motto - ‘Veritas’ - meaning truth. The Veritas Award is awarded to students who have been consistently displaying citizenship, leadership and/or Christian Living. Students receiving a Veritas Award are those students who have displayed our ‘Rules for Living’ in their everyday interactions. We announce our Veritas award recipients at Friday morning assemblies every fortnight. Congratulations to: Evin Ross Bibito, Georgia Leys, Jordan Smith, Louis Pham, Addyson Pollock, Archie Snape, Riley Bartlett, Elsie Gibson, David Cantos, Hanna Shaju, Lilli Shanley, Jax Graf, Alexis Bamborough, Noah Hobden, Oliver Creighton, Billy Mulligan, Sam Willsallen, Joanna Justin, Kairo Whetton, Lila Knight, Charlotte McDougall and Charlie Glass.
