Lost Property
We ask families to please label all items of clothing and other possessions. Your child’s teacher will make every effort to find missing items. If your child brings home something that does not belong to them, please return it to school the next day with a note to the class teacher so it can be returned to the rightful owner.
There are lost property containers in the front foyer.
Late Arrivals
We are working with families to continue to support student attendance at school. If students arrive after 9:15am, your child will have to sign in as late at the office. To ensure your child's safety, please wait with your child until a member of the classroom staff arrives to collect your child. There is an increasing number of students regularly arriving late to school or being collected early from school. This significantly affects your child's education over the year and disrupts the learning of other students. We understand families have a variety of commitments, and some appointments cannot be avoided.
Lunches
Even though we will never judge what students bring to school for lunch, we do encourage families to provide students with healthier lunches where available (less pre-packaged foods). Students are encouraged to bring store their lunches inside the classroom; particularly in secondary where they have an outside locker. This is to increase student independence and for food safety. We unfortunately do not have provision to refrigerate or heat student lunches at school. Please consider this when packing your child's lunchbox (deli meats/chicken/fish/dairy/salads/leftover rice or pasta). We also recommend you place an ice block in your child's lunch box. These are readily available at local supermarkets from $2. We recommend the MontiiCo brand as these last up to 8 hours. Failing this you can use a wrapped frozen water bottle.
