Newington has become the latest of many schools nationwide to welcome the StrayHat lost property app on campus.

StrayHat is a new, easy and efficient way of monitoring and reclaiming your lost property. It allows for lost items to be easily reunited with their owner through the identification of QR label codes by both smart phone cameras and GPS.

When your lost item is found with a StrayHat label and scanned by the person who found it, you will receive a notification email advising you that it’s been found along with its whereabouts.

Currently, over 90 named items in the lost property room in the Taylor Sport Centre have been tagged and scanned by staff – so head on to the Newington StrayHat Website and see if any are yours!

Tagging and scanning your items is a simple process – just download the app, register via email and follow the instructions on the Lost Property SPACES page. StrayHat labels can be purchased at the Midford Uniform shop and to get things going, Year 7 have all received a free package of their very own tags!
