End of Year Reminders- IMPORTANT
Medication Collection
Please remember to collect all medication from Reception at the end of the school year - including Epipens, inhalers, antihistamines or any other medication. Medication not collected at the end of the year will be disposed of through a chemist. As Epipens are considerably expensive, we strongly encourage families to place reminders on their calendars.
Lost Property
Our Lost Property areas (located at Reception & Junior School) are VERY full! If you have lost spectacles, school uniform items, drink bottles, toys, books, casual clothing ....there is a very high chance it is in our lost property.
All unclaimed lost property will be donated to the Op Shop/Charity at the end of the school year.
Locker Cleanout
Families are asked to remind their children about ensuring everything is removed from their locker by the end of the school year. Remaining items found in or around lockers will be disposed of.
