Lost Property policy

Rationale: It is inevitable that items will be misplaced by students and visitors at school. We therefore provide an efficient and effective lost property service for all.

Aim:  To minimise property losses and to return misplaced items to their rightful owners as efficiently as possible.

Implementation:

· The lost property bins will be located adjacent to the library and will be open during office hours.

· Parents and students will be regularly encouraged to clearly name and label all personal items including clothing, bags, books, sporting equipment and stationery.

· Misplaced or lost items are to be brought to the lost property bins or school office as soon as possible.

· Misplaced items that are inappropriate to be returned to students will be delivered to the Principal.

· Parents or students seeking to claim lost items should check the lost property bins.

· Unclaimed but named items will be returned to their rightful owners whenever possible.

· Appropriate unnamed good quality uniform items that are still unclaimed will be washed and placed in the second-hand uniform store for resale.

· Other unclaimed and damaged items will be disposed of appropriately at the end of each term.

Evaluation: This policy is to be reviewed as part of the school’s three-year review cycle.
