LOST PROPERTY - URGENT URGENT URGENT

We continue to experience an astronomical amount of lost property around the school.

Locations are at the Stadium, Oshclub and in the main building near the Canteen.

WE CAN'T KEEP UP!

We URGENTLY need a person to be willing to volunteer their time once per week to help sort it and distribute named items back to their owners. If you can only do this task as a once-only thing, please contact the School Office. Maybe you could enlist a couple of friends and do it together?

in the meantime, PARENTS/CARERS:

Please ensure all your child's items are clearly labelled, including lunchboxes, drink bottles, raincoats and of course, jackets and jumpers. You will need to ensure your child's full names, as initials may result in the item going to a child with the same initials.

FOUNDATION FAMILIES - Extra funding

If you are a family with a Foundation child this year and you are eligible for CSEF, you may also be eligible for the special Winter Warmer package offered by State School Relief. This usually entails a warm jacket, shoes and trousers/dress etc. there is only a short timeline to apply for these.

Please contact Adele Woolard or the school office for further information.

PARENT OPINION SURVEY - extension!

WE WANT OUR PARENTS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK.

The end date for this was originally 11th August. If you haven't been able to complete the survey in time, don't lose heart! We have been advised that the survey is now extended to Friday 23rd August.

We genuinely want to know what our parents think and request that, if you have been invited and have not yet done so, please complete your survey as soon as possible. Many thanks.

The survey results will be reported back to the school at the end of September.

Please speak to Sarah Attwood at the Office if you would like more information.
