Secondhand Uniform & Lost Property

The second Term 2 Secondhand Uniform Donation Day will be held on Friday 27 June from 3pm to 3.30pm at the Stadium.

We are grateful for all donations of school uniform you no longer require for the PFC to sell as a fundraiser for the school. Items must be clean and in good condition with the current EHPS logo (PSW or Spartan School World); please remove/cross out names from donated uniform.

If your child has lost clothing, you can check the four lost property boxes before school (before 8.50am) or after school (from 3.30pm). These are the four large grey, square lidded boxes located at the Eucalyptus, Banksia and Violet buildings and the Stadium foyer at school. The boxes will be emptied and sorted on 27 June. All named items will be returned to students. Unnamed items will be returned to the boxes to be claimed. Any remaining unnamed items may be sold at the next secondhand uniform sale next term, or donated or discarded at the end of term.
