Schools Moula Ali, Hyderabad St.paul's High school

Found a St. Paul's High School ID card on the Moula Ali hill steps. How do I get it back to the child?

We were up the Moula Ali hill early this morning looking for birds, and my son spotted a school ID card in a small plastic pouch near the steps. It's from St. Paul's High School, Moula Ali. I won't post the name or the photo here. Since schools are closed for the holidays, I'm not sure whether to drop it at the school office, leave it with someone at the hill, or keep it safe till June. If any St. Paul's parents know whether the office is open in May, I'd be grateful.

Good call not posting the photo. In my experience most school offices on this side have someone in the mornings through May because of admissions, so a weekday drop with a note should work. If you're not coming back this way, an envelope addressed to the school office would also do it 🤷

  Posting it hadn't occurred to me. We'll likely be back on the hill on Sunday, so I'll try the office on a weekday before that if I can, and post it if they're shut.

  Whoever this child is will be so relieved. When our son lost his card it was a whole process at his school, a form, a new photo, and a week of explaining himself at the gate every morning. Kids really worry about these things.

  What bothers me is how much is printed on these cards now. Full name, class, school, sometimes a home address and a phone number, on a lanyard round a seven year old's neck. Is that normal everywhere?

  Our children's school prints only the first name and an admission number on the front; the address and contact details are on the back, inside a fold. It changed after a parent raised it at a PTM. Worth asking at your daughter's school, it isn't a big change for them to make.
