Lost Property
Dear Families,
This is a note regarding your child’s lost property. Each week any named items will be returned to your child from lost property. It is important to clearly label all items of clothing and personal belongings such as drink bottles and lunchboxes.
Any item that is not named will be placed in a tub outside the grade of Miss Nikki and Mrs Mantello next to the netball court after school on a Thursday and Friday at 3:20-3:40pm. During the school day the basket will be placed back inside (near these classrooms) and lost property is only to be collected from this area before and after school with adult supervision. Children are asked not to go through it during the day.
