Please name all items!
Please encourage your child to put their name on all their property and clothing – including their MyWay cards, hats, pencil cases, calculators and ILT planners! Then, if items are found and handed in to the student office, they can be returned promptly to their owner.
Donations of second hand uniforms
Has your child out-grown their uniform? The College has a small collection of second hand uniform items for sale, and relies on donations of uniforms for supplies. Feel free to donate any uniform items that no longer fit your child! A reminder that JPC changes from summer to winter uniform at the beginning of Term 2.
If you would like to purchase something from the 2nd Hand Uniform Shop please send us an email and we will let you know when the item you are after is available.
Lost Property
We have an impressive range of lost property already this term, mostly from the swimming carnival and Year 7 Camp, including clothing (hoodies, jumpers, shorts, t-shirts, a selection of swimmers and board-shorts, school shoes and running shoes, thermal tops, tracksuit pants and wet weather gear) as well as a couple of pillows, quite a number of beach towels and bath towels, and many drink bottles! Please encourage your child to check the lost property tables near the student office to see if any of these items belong to them. Unclaimed items will be donated to St Vincent De Paul at the end of the term.
Found property
The student office has an interesting collection of ‘valuable’ lost property, including several watches, reading glasses, jewellery (rings and necklaces), sets of keys (house keys, padlock keys and a set of car keys, all on unique keyrings), a Ventolin puffer, a retainer, a charger for an Apple computer, and a partridge in a pear tree. If any of these belong to your child, they simply need to come to the student office, describe the item and it can be returned.
Reminder: If your child is absent from school or going to be late
The College requires all absences from school to be given in writing, so if your child is going to be absent from school, or you know they will be late, please email the student office directly at office.jpc@cg.catholic.edu.au to let us know (Please include your child’s full name and year level – thank you.) If you are unable to email us, please let us know by phone (6163 4800), and then send in an explanation note with your child when they return to school.
Reminder: If your child needs to leave school early
A reminder of what to do if your child needs to leave school during school hours:
• Students bring a signed note from their parents stating the reason for leaving school and the time that they will be picked up. Students keep this note with them during the day.
• Five minutes before the time they are to be picked up, the student shows the note to their classroom teacher, leaves the class and collects any belongings they need.
• The student comes down to the student office with their note, which they hand in as they sign out.
We would appreciate parents/carers coming in to meet the student at the Student Office and sign their child out.
Please note that students are only allowed to access their phones at their locker during recess and lunch. In the event of an unforeseen need to pick up your child, you can contact them via their phone, but please also send an email to the student office to alert us as well.
If your child is feeling unwell, they must let their teacher know, and come to first aid, and we will get in touch with you directly.
