Visitors

A friendly reminder;  if you enter the school grounds you need to sign in on the kiosk in the office. 

We would really prefer for you to drop your child/ren off at the front gate as we are having lots of parents onsite and we need to be able to monitor visitors as per our head office directive. 

 

Parent/Teacher interview appointment times will be available this afternoon on Compass. 

Please follow these instructions to book your interview time with your child's teacher:

  • From the Compass homepage click the hamburger menu button at the top left (three horizontal bars) and then select 'Conferences'.  
  • To start the booking process click on the 2022 Term 1, 3 way conference option.
  • Once you've selected the cycle you will first be shown a popup which contains information from the school. Read the message and click 'Okay' at the bottom to continue.   
  • Select your student to proceed with booking. 
  • Select your child's teacher from the Right Hand Side of the screen. 
  • To book in just click an available (white) timeslot.

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. There is a payment schedule at the bottom of your statement detailing any instalments missed and/or upcoming ones.  The schedule is for current years fees only and any outstanding fees need to be brought up to date.   

Please note that you are able to view your current balance and transactions via the Compass app.  If you are experiencing any problems regarding this please phone the school and we can advise you of your balance.
