Lost Property
In 2016 - 40kg of unnamed clothing and
30 items of unnamed plastic containers were donated to charity each month.
Our lost property is managed by parent volunteers and we need your help to reduce this huge workload and loss of property.
You can help by:
- ensuring all belongings are clearly marked with student's names and room numbers
- regularly check (and encourage your child/ren to check) for their lost property
- remember it is the responsibility of students and families to regularly check lost property and reclaim items
When is unnamed lost property cleared and donated to charity?
- Last Friday of every month
Where is lost property?
In the causeway at the entry to room 7 and 8 (near the toilet block off the little adventure playground).
