Dear Families

When booking/cancelling children there are a number of options for you to choose, so please ensure you select the option you require.  I also ask that you check your statements weekly and are in agreeance with all the attendance details, particularly the type of session you have been charged for.  It is important that, if there are any discrepancies, you make contact as quickly as possible so that your account may be rectified.  As bookings are created by parents, the fees are generated as a result of your selections. 

With thanks,  Melanie Heaney

We have now become a registered collection point for a Charity organisation called "Aussie Breadtags for Wheelchairs".  The company collects bread tags and provides them to  a recycling company in Robe for a small amount of money, This money then goes towards buying wheelchairs for those in need in South Africa. 

A collection box is available in the Front office.

Our virtual school tour is now available for families who are looking to enrol their children at school but would prefer not to come on a physical tour at this time.

Your may have seen the trailer for the school tour on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/StJosephsTranmere/ 

The virtual tour is also available on our school website http://www.stjotran.catholic.edu.au/ 

We invite you to share the tour with any of your friends and families who are looking to enrol their children at school.  There is a school fee discount for any school family who secures a new enrolment for the school (the discount applies for the first year the new family attends the school).
