Enrolment
Please see enrolment page.
Excursions/ visiting shows
During the year a variety of excursions and visiting shows are organised . When leaving the grounds permission notes must be signed and parent helpers are always welcome. Our aim for excursions is to enhance teaching and learning, that has started within the curriculum. So to maximize teaching and learning we try to take small groups of children with a high ratio of staff to students. At visiting shows, siblings and children who attend on other days are welcome.
Preschool fee
Please see Schooling Costs page.
Food at preschool
Your child needs to bring a nutritional lunch box that includes a sandwich, fruit and healthy snack for lunch and afternoon tea. You also need to pack a drink bottle with water for your child to have at lunch, afternoon tea and throughout the day.
