We encourage you to book your appointment as far in advance as possible. At the fitting appointment, we always allow for a reasonable amount of growth when allocating sizing. Booking an appointment assists us in ensuring there is adequate stock to cover everybody’s needs, and makes sure all students are adequately prepared. The College cannot guarantee sufficient stock will be available if uniform orders are not placed through a fitting appointment.

Bus Bookings for 2025

Bookings for our bus service for 2025 are not yet open.

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we would like to ask for your assistance in reviewing the current bus stops listed on our website. This will ensure that we have the most accurate and up-to-date information as we finalise the bus routes for next year.

If you believe that your child requires a new bus stop that we do not currently have available kindly submit your request via email to Student Services: info@mountcarmel.tas.edu.au  or call the College Office on 6216 7900. We will make every effort to accommodate requests where possible, ensuring that the bus routes meet the needs of all students while keeping to the efficient and safe operation of the service. Please note that the bus service is intended to be for to and from school travel only, and we ask that any requested stops reflect this.

In January 2025, all families – both new and returning – will be provided with access to the RollCall Parent App to manage bus service bookings for Semester 1. Families will be notified via email of how to make their bookings.

Thank you for your assistance in helping us ensure a smooth and efficient start to the school year. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
