Lost Property
Uniform Shop | Uniform Shop Contacts | Uniform Requirements
Lost property is
located on the verandah behind the Kit Kirkwood Hall. There are two
large plastic storage bins for named and unnamed property.
Parents and students are welcome to look for lost property in the
storage bins but
care must be taken not to mix clothes that have already been sorted.
Unnamed lost property will be kept for two weeks and then given to
the School Uniform Shop as second hand clothing or given to charity.
Please make sure your children’s
possessions are labelled with name
and
current class. It is impossible to
distribute unnamed lost property.
Naming your Child's Clothing
It is very important to clearly name every single item of clothing.
And please, don't just write "Sally S" in a hat or sweater. We can
only do a database search on surnames, so please write "Sally Smith"
instead. We suggest that you write your child's full name as well as
class in all his/her belongings. In the case of school hats, it is
often a good idea to also add a telephone number. Use black texta in
hats so the children can easily read their names.
Changing Classes
Changing classes at year end? Then make sure you change the
class name in your child's hat or sweater. This will greatly help
the Lost Property Monitors if the item ends up in Lost Property.
Lunch Boxes & Water Bottles
If lunch boxes and water bottles are unmarked and unclaimed
after two weeks they are thrown away. It is unhygienic to keep them
any longer. The solution is to clearly name your child's lunch box
and water bottle with black texta.
Checking your Child's Clothing
Sometimes items of clothing go missing because they are
taken home accidentally by other children, particularly in
Kindergarten. It is an idea if parents and carers could periodically
check their child's clothing to make sure they have not picked up
someone else's property by mistake. It happens! If your child brings
home an item that is not theirs, make sure it is returned to the
child's teacher as soon as possible.
