From the Business Manager: Peter
Chiandotto
In advance, we thank parents for paying punctually. School
fees and levies allow the school to provide the rich and varied
programs, resources and excursions the children benefit from
enormously and it is important that school fees are paid
consistently. School fees are required to be paid in full for
each year and finalised by end of Term 3. Thank you to the
considerable number of parents who have already paid their
annual fees in full. We recommend that parents make regular
and ongoing payments (either weekly, fortnightly or monthly) to
avoid school debt becoming large and unwieldy.
Please note, that payment plans can be arranged for each
individual family, to ensure that school fees are completed on
time. Further, we urge families to contact the school if you are
ever experiencing genuine financial hardship. To discuss your
school fees further, please contact Ms Adam at our Auburn
office on 9749 1919 or mobile number 0402 991 026.
From the Uniform Shop
Please note that the uniform shop will be open on Monday
15th October (Staff Development Day) from 8am – 4pm for last
minute summer purchases.
If you need to contact the uniform shop please call 9749 7291.
From the Counsellor, Regents Park
As a counsellor at Trinity Catholic College I have been a
representative at the meetings of the Child and Family Services
in the Cumberland area. I would like to share these services and
the work they do with you and how you can contact them if you
so wish.
Br. Tony Vaughan (School Counsellor)
From Sydney Catholic Schools
Sydney Catholic Schools would like to inform you that a number
of students of Sydney Catholic Schools have been impacted by
the recent contamination of fruit.
The students uncovered metal objects in an apple and
strawberries, which they had brought to school from home.
Thankfully, no students have been injured.
The health and safety of every member of our school
community is and always will be our top priority. Parents and
carers may want to consider cutting up all fruit before
consuming or sending to school.
For additional information or developments around this issue
please see the following links:
• NSW Food Authority
• NSW Police
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Sydney
Catholic Schools or the College.
