Lost property should be handed in to the Office. If students lose personal property, they should go to the office to check if it’s there.

Possessing these will result in immediate suspension (cigarettes/e-cigarettes, Vapes, Drugs, alcohol or any other illegal substances in any form, knives, slingshots, explosives). 

Any item which is potentially dangerous (e.g., rubber bands, peashooters, aerosol deodorant cans). These will be confiscated.

School Bags

Students are encouraged to take their bags into classrooms with them, except the specialist rooms, to discourage theft from their bags (the school cannot take responsibility for personal items brought to the school).

Sick Students 

Sick students must report to the office first. The office staff may decide to allow the student to lie down in Sick Bay; administer first aid, organise medical help (ambulance or doctor) or telephone for a parent to take their child home as necessary.
