Lost Property
Has your child lost something at school?
At Bimbadeen ‘Lost Property’ is located at the Library.
The current week’s items are kept in a labelled tub outside the library entrance. We encourage students to be responsible and look for their own mislaid items throughout the week.
Any named items which were added during the previous week, and not yet collected, are checked for names, and delivered to students on Monday mornings.
Un-named, non-current and indecipherably named items are noted and transferred to the ‘Lost Property’ cupboard - which is inside the foyer of the library. We have many items on our shelves just waiting for someone to come and find them, including assorted clothing, drink bottles, coats and umbrellas!
Items that have been held for two terms without collection are transferred to our second-hand uniform.
Bimbadeen’s Student Dress Code policy states that uniforms must be clearly marked with the owner’s name, in good repair, and clean. When doing your washing we ask that you check items your child wears or brings to school for names and that they are legible – updating/naming if needed. This will ensure that if items do get left behind, we can get them back home safely.
School jackets and jumpers purchased from Spartan School Supplies include a ‘RagTagd’ – find out more details about this facility at:
https://www.spartanss.com.au/pages/ragtagd-lost-property.
In summary once a RagTag'd is registered an SMS will be sent overnight to the registered phone number advising that the item is in the lost property awaiting collection. For privacy reasons, school does not have access to the RagTag'd register so, if an item comes in and has a tag, we have no way of determining if the tag if registered or not – therefore from our perspective it is important that registered items are clearly named as well.
If there is something you know your child has lost at school, please remember to have a look to see if it has been handed in - students and parents are welcome to visit at any time.
SENTRAL PORTAL
Sentral is the best way to communicate to you what is happening at the school. Please remember to log in and turn on your notifications to receive reminders, notices and this newsletter!
You must log back into Sentral at the end of each term and the end of the year, as Sentral will not automatically roll over to a new term.
