FAQ's

Absentees

Parents are required to notify the school if their child is not attending school due to illness or other reasons. Parents can notify the school via phone or via the Parent Portal / BCE Connect App. If the school is not contacted by 9am, an automatic SMS message will be sent to the parent requesting that they contact the school to verify the child’s absence and reason.


Lost Property

All enquiries regarding lost property other than clothing, should be directed to the School Office.  A Lost Property Bin is located outside the Office, and parents/caregivers are invited to check this.  At the end of each term ALL un-named lost property will be sent to the St Vincent de Paul Society.  ​Please ensure that each and every item of clothing is clearly marked with your child's name.  Drink bottles and lunch boxes should also be labelled.  For health reasons, these will be disposed of after one week in lost property.
