Lost Property

In 2018 - a significant amount of unnamed clothing and 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 workload and loss of property.

You can help by:

ensuring that all belongings are clearly marked with students' names and room numbers
regularly check (and encourage your child/ren to check) for their lost property
remember that 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 Gym on the right hand side, as you walk in.
