In moving into secondary school, students have more responsibility for the care of their personal equipment.
At times issues can arise around equipment, however, it is all part of maturing and learning organisation skills to ensure that we are all prepared for the tasks and learning of each day.
Bags
All students are expected to have a bag large enough to carry worksheets, folders and textbooks to keep them in good condition. In general, bags may be taken into normal classrooms for lessons. Bags must not be taken into the science centre, library, technics centres, computer labs or visual arts centre. This rule is Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) necessity. Bags are to be stacked neatly outside these rooms or hung on the hooks provided.
Students should ensure that they have everything they need before entering these rooms. Bags should not be left in the playground during lesson times. Students should never leave money or items of value in their bags.
Clothing
Tumbi Umbi Campus is a uniform campus and as such every student is expected to wear the full uniform every day.
All items of clothing should be labelled to assist in the return of lost property.
Hats and sunscreen
Students are encouraged to wear a hat and sunscreen when outside. Hats should be removed in classrooms and during assemblies.
Large sums of money
Students are actively encouraged not to bring large sums of money to school. However, if this is unavoidable, money should be taken to the administration office for safekeeping, before 8:00am, until the student leaves the campus for the day.
Administration starts collecting payments as students arrive at the campus so there is no need for students to be carrying money.
Lost property
Lost or found property is to be reported to the administration office. Clothing, campus equipment e.g calculators, and any valuable items should be clearly marked with the student's name.
