REPS PERSONAL PROPERTY POLICY

Purpose

To explain REPS policy in relation to personal property and to ensure that special or valuable items of personal property are not brought to school.

Scope

This policy applies to all school activities, including camps and excursions.  

Policy

REPS understands that staff and/or students may sometimes like to bring items of personal property to school. 

The Department of Education and Training does not have insurance for personal property of staff, students and visitors. REPS does not take responsibility for items of personal property that are lost, stolen or damaged at school or during school activities. Damage to personal property brought to school is the responsibility of the owner of that property. 

REPS encourages staff and students not to bring items of value to school, or to obtain appropriate insurance for such items. 

If students bring items of value to school, they will be confiscated and stored securely at the office until the end of the day, when the items may be collected by the student and/or parent. 

Review Cycle

This policy was last updated on August 2020 and is scheduled for review in August 2024.
