Please Don't Forget...

...to name all pieces of uniform and other items such as lunch boxes and drink bottles.  At the end of term clear out, we found over 20 unnamed jumpers and jackets in the Lost Property box. Please take the time to write your surname on tags with permanent marker, or else sew in cloth name tags so all these valuable items can be returned to students.

Be Sun Smart

A reminder that QoP has a 'No Hat, No Play' policy in force in Terms 1 and 4.  All children and staff members must wear a hat when outside. CLICK HERE to read the Uniform Policy or refer to the 2020 INFORMATION BOOKLET. The summer uniform should be worn during Term 1 and 4 however, we do suggest to parents that their children may wear the uniform which is most comfortable and appropriate to the weather on a given day.
