IMPORTANT INFORMATION 

SCHOOL FEES

Just a reminder that the next instalment for School Fees is due on 21st October. 

Parents can continue to make regular payments, as all schools have facilities to pay fees by BPAY, EFTPOS, Cash, or Cheque. However, the preferred payment method is BPAY, which has the Biller Code and Reference in the top right-hand corner. 

We would appreciate it if any overdue payments could be finalised at your earliest convenience. 

If you have any questions regarding this new process please forwarded them to Ms Traynor or Mrs Claire Ryan on 02 6743 4656 or email: bogadmin@arm.catholic.edu.au

CHANGE OF DETAILS

It's essential that the school has your most up to date student and family information on the Compass Portal. Accurate details ensure we can contact you in an emergency and communicate important school updates.

Please notify the school immediately of any changes to:

• Contact Information: Address, phone number(s), and email address(es).
• Emergency Contacts: Names and phone numbers of authorised contacts/pick-up persons.

Afternoon Pick-up Changes

If you have a day-to-day change for after-school arrangements (like OOSH or who is picking up), please call or visit the school before 2:30 PM. This gives us time to inform teachers and ensure a safe, smooth afternoon dismissal.

World Mental Health Day is marked every year on 10th October as a reminder of the importance of mental health to our overall wellbeing. It is a day that encourages families, schools, workplaces and communities across the globe to start conversations, reduce stigma and highlight the support available for those who may be struggling.

Mental health challenges can affect anyone: children, teens, and adults alike. Recognising this helps us create more compassionate and supportive environments.

Parents and caregivers play a central role in shaping the mental health of their children. World Mental Health Day is an opportunity to pause and reflect on the pressures young people face in today's world and how we can best support them. Whether it's helping children find balance between school, technology, and rest; encouraging open conversations about feelings; or modelling healthy coping strategies ourselves - small steps at home can make a big difference.

By engaging with resources and discussions on this day, families can strengthen their understanding of mental health and contribute to a culture where seeking help is seen as a sign of strength, not weakness.

This Special Report highlights the importance of World Mental Health Day and offers practical suggestions for how your family can acknowledge and support it together.
