Lost Property
-  David Kilgour has lost his named polar fleece and jacket.  Please check your child's clothing to see if they have picked it by mistake.
-  there is a huge number of sweat shirts, track pants, unnamed school jackets, polar fleeces and other items of clothing in the lost property.  Have a look to see if anything belongs to you otherwise it will be given to the Uniform Shop and St Vincent de Paul clothing shop.

News Blog
It has been brought to our attention that some people think the news blog has only the Principal's and the Director of Religious Studies news on it.  The school notices, sports draw and diary dates are on the blog but you have to click that particular page at the bottom of the blog.  For some reason, the blog has decided to do this all by itself!!
