LOST PROPERTY
Parents are asked to ensure that all items of clothing and personal belongings of their child/children are clearly labeled with the child’s name.
A storage bin for lost property is located inside sick bay in the office. Any items found around the school without identification are sent there. The items in the storage bin are displayed once a term and each class is asked to view and collect any belongings. Teachers are asked to encourage the children to check the box on a regular basis. At the end of each term this area is cleared and items of clothing in good repair are donated to our school secondhand clothing shop.

LUNCHES / HEALTHY FOOD /SNACK BREAKS
There is no restriction on what the children bring to school for lunches though we teach and recommend healthy and nutritious food. In general, pack food that is easy to open and eat. We also suggest making sure that your child has a wholesome breakfast otherwise we find them feeling very hungry before recess.
Also, while our school is not nut free, we do encourage students and parent to make food choices that are considerate of those who are allergic to nuts.
