Use of Disabled Parking Spaces
A reminder that all marked disabled parking spaces on site are to only be used by a family with a parking pass. If you are unable to find a carpark, please do not use these as an alternative space, even if only for a short time.
Lost Property
Our Lost Property area at reception is 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.
Parents of Junior students - please be reassured that we are actively clearing out items from the Junior School lost property area, hallways & playground. We are returning any named items direct to the student and un-labelled items brought down to reception.
All unclaimed lost property will be donated to the Op Shop/Charity or disposed of at the end of the school year.
