YEAR 6 ORIENTATION DAY 2023
We look forward to welcoming all of our incoming 2024 Year 7 students and their parents on Tuesday 28th November.
The day will commence at 9am in the Hall for students and their parents. The parents information session is from 9-10.40am.
TRAVEL
Parents are requested to pick up and drop off students at QHS side gate near the Hall in Abbott Street. Students are able to catch the bus if pre-arranged with the buslines.
MEDICATION
Any student requiring medication will need to bring it to the front office at the beginning of the day.
WHAT TO BRING
All students are required to wear their school uniform, bring a hat, lunch and water.
BOOK PACKS
QHS will provide ALL enrolled incoming Year 7 students with a complete stationery and book pack. This includes everything a Year 7 student will need for the year, including a calculator.
UNIFORMS
School Uniforms will be available to purchase from the Canteen
on Tuesday 28th November 2023, Wednesday 31st January and Thursday 1st February 2024.
YEAR ADVISORS
Staff will be on-hand to answer any questions including Year 7 Advisors for 2024 Ms Kimberley Reichel and Mr Shane Hall.
*Please note - dates and times of the above mentioned events may change - please continue to check the Parent Calendar and Facebook for updates.
Calendar
Please use the link at the top of this page to view our school calendar as it has so many dates for events for this term and next year as well.
Attendance
This is a timely reminder to parents that it is a legal requirement that absences are explained within 7 days on Compass. It really can't be any easier than to log onto the app and put in an explanation. Let's make Term 4 a term with no 'unexplained absences'!
Visitors
Please remember to sign in and out of the school through the kiosk, everytime you come through the front gate. It is imperative that we have a record of everyone who is on the school grounds at all times - this is to keep children safe and in case of any emergency that may arise.
Award Winners - Week 5
Uniform
Students are now required to come to school in full summer uniform.
Working With Children Checks
If you are involved in volunteering here at school in any capacity you need to have a current WWCC. These are available through Service NSW and are free for the volunteers check. We are sending out sms messages to our current parents whose WWCC is expired or due to expire soon. If you have not sent through your details to the office we would very much appreciate it if you could make it a priority.
School Fees
Term 4 school fees have been processed by the Catholic Schools Office, Armidale. Statements will be issued by Friday this week. In Compass through the Parent Portal you can see all your transactions on your account. Keep up to date with your school fees by setting up regular payments through BPAY.
