School Uniform

Lost Property

We have a significant amount of unnamed clothing regularly donated to charity. You can reduce this by:

Labelling everything that comes to school (a simple sharpie does the trick).

Thank you to all those that are already in the habit of labelling and checking lost property (located in the gym). It makes our volunteers job much easier.

School uniforms tend to be well labelled and easy to return. A quick reminder that pre-loved uniforms can be be purchased from the office.

Top offenders in lost property are:

- casual clothing, particularly larger sizes

- hats

- drink bottles

- lunch boxes

Please consider the drain on our resources every time these items are replaced. Label and check regularly.

When is unnamed lost property cleared and donated to charity?

Last Friday of every month

Where is lost property?

In the Gym on the right hand side, as you walk in.
