Dear Parents and Carers,
It is really important to have you child at school before 8:50am. We are seeing an increasing number of students arrive after the gate has been closed which means they are also missing out on important playtime from 8:30am. If you are not signing your child into school they will have 'partial absence - unexplained' on their records.
The start of every school day is a busy time (for our admin staff as well) so please try to have your children at school well before the gate closes at 8:50am

SCHOOL FEES
Term one fees have been issued by the Catholic Schools Office (CSO), Armidale with your BPAY details. Regular payments can be set up directly from your bank account via BPAY or payments can be made through CompassPay.
ATTENDANCE
It is a legal requirement that you log in to Compass to explain all absences within 7 days of your child being away from school, however it is so much easier if you attend to this on the day as soon as you receive the reminder.
