Marking property

Parents are reminded that all uniform, PE and Games kit, and personal possessions, must be clearly and indelibly marked with their owner's name. Lost property is managed by the Assistant Head Master (or the Junior School Secretary).

School bags

Bags for carrying school books are to be suitable to the purpose - too often pupils have bags which are far too large and which constitute a nuisance in narrow corridors and classrooms. Bags must be of a size to fit into school lockers.

Pupils in P5-7 and S1-3 are required to have the College games bag for games kit.

Pupils in P1-P7 and Prep are required to have the PE bag for PE kit.

Lockers

Lockers are assigned to all Senior School pupils in except S4. Pupils who are given a locker must use it and may not carry bags around the school. Pupils are required to buy the official lock (from the School Shop) and must not replace this lock without first seeking permission from the Assistant Head Master. Pupils are responsible for keeping their lock combination confidential and must ensure that their locker door is properly secured before leaving it.

Before holidays, pupils are to remove all their possessions so the lockers can be cleaned. Pupils who damage or do not take proper care of their lockers will be charged for repairs. The school reserves the right to examine the contents of lockers at any time and without the permission of the pupil or parents.
