Launch of Years 11 and 12*
After significant planning around the extension of SACC, we are excited to welcome parents and students to this launch, which will include a basic overview of how Years 11 and 12 will operate at SACC, information on the upcoming building works and subject booths where you are able to have general conversations with our subject lead teachers.
Please RSVP by 5th November to samantha.wilton@catholic.tas.edu.au
Family Holidays in Term Time
There may be occasions when there is an exceptional travel opportunity or cause for travel for the student and family for certain reasons. It is the parent/guardian’s obligation to inform the Principal in writing regarding the intended holiday, giving details of the dates on which the student will be absent from school. For older students, it is their responsibility to inform teachers of their absence and to complete any missed work and/or assessments in their own time. Teachers do not prepare work for students to complete during such absence.
John Wallis Memorial Lecture
Members of the St Aloysius Catholic College community are invited to attend the 2021 John Wallis Memorial Lecture, Around the Table with Pope Francis – a place and a voice for the poor, which will be delivered by international educational leader and social change advocate Dr Wayne Tinsey, on Wednesday 27 October, at 7.00 pm.

Uniform Shop
As most families would be aware, students currently in Year 4 who will be continuing onto the Middle Campus, will be required to wear a college blazer for Year 5. We encourage families to begin to get organised. Blazers are best to be tried on to get the correct size.
The Uniform Shop will be open for trading as normal during Term 4, but as was the case last year, WILL ONLY BE OPEN FOR QKR, EMAIL AND LAYBY COLLECTION IN JANUARY. More information, including dates, to follow at a later date.
Term Time Opening Hours:
Tuesday 8.15-10.00am
Wednesday 2.00-3.30pm
Thursday 1.30-3.30pm
Update of Terms and Conditions
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing the best possible educational experience, we have continued to monitor and revise the Terms and Conditions which apply in all Catholic Education Commission Tasmania schools. We will therefore be introducing a small number of updates to the Terms and Conditions, which will apply to all current enrolments continued in 2021 as well as to new enrolments from 2022.
A full copy of the Terms and Conditions is in the attachment, which you should read carefully. Some changes made to the Terms and Conditions to note are as follows:
• The inclusion of a definition of Humanitarian Entrant;
• Reference to “Healthcare Card” has been changed “Concession Card” to reflect the Fee Assistance Policy;
• The inclusion of an additional paragraph addressing disclosure of information to Seesaw and Services Australia; and
• New questions to capture information regarding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status of parents/guardians.
By continuing your child’s enrolment in 2022 from Monday, 17th January 2022, you will be taken to have accepted these updates to the Terms and Conditions.
If you have any concerns about the updates, please contact the school office on 62290100 or by
sacc@catholic.tas.edu.au before Friday, 22nd October 2021.
