Queanbeyan West Public School staff have drawn a blank after two 2.5 metre pencils were stolen from the school’s grounds.
Police said it’s believed the pencils were stolen from the Morton Street school sometime between 3:15 pm on Wednesday, 30 November, and 3:15 pm on Friday, 2 December.
The pencils – one yellow and one green – are inscribed with the words ‘responsibility’ and ‘respect’ in white on the sides.
The school posted a plea for the pencils on Facebook, stating they had been stolen in the lead-up to the school’s colour run.
“Keep an eye out for the pencils – Lucky Lorikeet is extremely upset!” it said.

“School staff have drawn a blank and asking the wider school community to keep a sharp look out, hoping for their return in time for the new school year,” they said.
Anyone with information has been urged to contact Queanbeyan Police on 6298 0599.
