About the Armidale Catholic Schools Office
St Mary's Catholic Cathedral, Armidale
The Armidale CSO administers 24 schools on behalf of Bishop Michael Kennedy, Bishop of Armidale. The CSO was set up in the mid 1970s as a direct result of the need to respond to changes in government policy. While the strong local nature of the schools is retained modern education often demands a system response.
The Director, Mr John Mula is directly responsible to the Bishop through the Bishop's Commission for Catholic Schools. The Catholic Schools Office is situated in Barney Street Armidale. Office hours are 8:30am to 4:30pm.
Staff employed and working out of the office provide specific services and support to schools. Further detail on duties and role descriptions can be obtained in Services to Schools.
