Lost Property

Many items of student clothing as well as lunch boxes and water bottles end up in the lost property bin in the First Aid Room. Those which are named are quickly returned to their owners via homeroom teachers, but unfortunately, numerous un-named items, often expensive uniform pieces, cannot be returned and are periodically donated to Parents & Friends for their pre-loved uniform sales. Please make a point these holidays to ensure that all of your child’s personal items are clearly named.

Students Travelling on Buses

I have been reminding students on our Charter Buses and all students on excursions of the importance of wearing their seat belts; apart from being required by law, it is also a vital safety measure, given that buses often travel on high-speed freeways. Parents are requested to remind their children about wearing seatbelts just as they do in the family car.

Traffic and Car Parking Rules

Thank you to the overwhelming majority of parents who drive, park and collect their children in a responsible manner. A few reminders about College rules which are all in the interests of child safety:

• Please observe speed limits – 40kph on the entrance road and 20kph around the internal ring road.
• At drop-off and pick-up, please never expect your children to cross the ring road unless at the supervised Gym pedestrian crossing.
• When dropping off or picking up children in the main parent car park, cars should be parked in marked spaces; children should never be crossing the path of traffic to access a car.
