Lost Property
30 Jun 2026

Kia ora e te whānau.

We have sorted through the lost property and returned all named items to students (or passed them along to siblings).

However, we still have a large amount of unclaimed uniform items - both unnamed and with names of students who no longer attend - as well as drink bottles that have been sitting here for weeks.

These remaining items are laid out on tables in front of the office. Please come and help yourselves after school!
