SCHOOL FEES & LEVIES
Accounts for 2012 school fees and levies have now been sent home with the children. If you have not
received an account yet please check in your eldest child‟s school bag.
We would ask that if anyone is experiencing any difficulty in making timely payments, they should
contact the school office and talk to the office staff or make an appointment to meet with the principal. It
is stressed that all situations are treated with the utmost confidentiality.

forms need to be updated each year and forwarded to the school ASAP please.
Asthma Action Plan

Anaphylaxis information treatment form if an Epipen is required. This must be supplied
by the parent and in current date status at all times.
PARENTS OF YEAR 6 STUDENTS
If you are intending to send your child to a Catholic Secondary school and have not yet enrolled your
child , you should do so immediately as the applications for enrolment for Year 7 in 2013 close on March
2 nd 2012.
Year 5 parents may like to start looking at the options for your child for the following year. More details
were sent home with the year 5 /6 students during the week .
PARENT INFORMATION BOOKLETS
All parents should have received a Parent Information booklet regarding activities, expectations of
children and parents in the learning process for your child‟s level.
The „Information About Your Child’ sheet for each child should now be completed and returned to your
child‟s class teacher. This information is very helpful for the classroom teachers when getting to know
your child and developing a good rapport with them.

the meeting room at the back of the church and in the portable classroom in the Mora Ave playground.
