Change of clothes:

If your child is in Prep, or is prone to having “accidents”, please leave a change of clothes in their bag as the school has very little spare uniform to be able to supply a change.

Are you intending to change schools next year?

It's sad to see any of our amazing students leave us but we understand that family circumstances change.  If you are leaving us at the end of this year but have not yet informed us, can you please do so ASAP by emailing dohertys.creek.p9.co@education.vic.gov.au .  We will need to know the school that your child is moving to as this will assist us in supporting you with the transition to your child's new school.

 

Lost Property:

We always aim to return what we can but often when items are unnamed, they are added and remain to the ever increasing lost property pile.

We hope to reunite as many items as possible with their rightful owners. If you think your child may have misplaced anything at the school, please take a moment to look through the wooden create located in the library entrance. 

Please LABEL your children's belongings!

 

We have an enormous amount of lost property that was not labelled.  Please make sure that all of your child’s uniform is labelled with their FULL NAME, as well as their lunch boxes, drink bottles etc, so that we can ensure that the lost hats, jackets, jumpers are returned to their rightful owners.

 

If you have already labelled these items, it is also a good idea to check that they are still legible, as a lot of them have faded or smudged in the wash, making it difficult to identify them.
