To assist this conversation, “Three-way Interviews” will be held halfway through Term 3.

STRICTLY LIMITED

Change of Clothes It is not unusual for Kindergarten students or other junior students to have a toileting accident. Many require a change of clothing. Unfortunately, we do not always have a change of clothes that fit or are suitable to change stu-dents into. If your child is a junior student, it would be greatly appreciated if you could please include a change of undies, socks, school top/dress and short/pants in your child’s bag daily. This will assist us to make your child comfortable quickly. Also some students may slip on the playground on mud during the wet season therefore change of clothes in their bag for the older students would be also appreciat-ed.

Lost Property As the end of term approaches, please check the lost property draws located in the admin foyer and baskets outside the office if your child has lost any personal property at school. In order that any lost items are able to be returned to your child, please write your child’s name on everything! You can:

use a permanent laundry marker to label clothes, hats and shoes, or sew or iron on personalised la-bels;

check that labels haven’t faded with washing;

go through your child’s bag with them each night.

All uncollected items will be donated to our second hand pool and other lost property items will be placed in the clothing recycling bin.
