Student Verification Reports
Please check the Student Verification report that was sent home for each child on Friday to the Primary Carer. This report provides parent/carer contact details and emergency contact details for your child/children. The school needs this information to be accurate in the case of an emergency, and for the general day to day communication with our parents and carers.
If there are changes to be made, cross out the incorrect information and write the correct or additional information on the report. We would like at least one email address per family, and at least one emergency contact apart from parents/carers who live close to Tamworth.
Please ensure you sign the report and return to school with your eldest child by Friday 6th March. Even if the information is correct, we still need these reports back. If you are not a Primary Carer and need to update your contact details call the office on 6765 4079 or email sjtadmin@arm.catholic.edu.au during office hours 8:30am - 3:30pm.
Clothing Pool & Lost Property
If you need extra uniform items, don't forget to contact the clothing pool. We do have a variety of sizes for sale. Thank you to all the families and people connected to the school for their donations throughout the year.
