Kindergarten each day
At Apex Early Learning Centre, a Kindergarten child brings:
- a complete change of clothes
- one towel for a shower, which stays at the centre until Friday
- a folder for their activities
Mark clothing and the towel with the child’s name. If another child’s clothes or shoes come home by mistake, please return them. If school clothing is used after an accident, return it the next day.
The folder keeps the child’s work in order and helps the teacher and the parent see how each activity is going.
Lunch and stationery
The canteen makes lunches each day. Parents and guardians can collect a canteen price list from the Administration Office and order lunch there.
Stationery is the responsibility of the parents. The school does not provide stationery.
Attendance
Nonu Day Nursery School is a registered learning institution. Parents and guardians are asked to take their children’s education seriously and to send them every day, unless they are seriously ill. The school can help them learn when attendance is consistent.
You can contact the school on any matter concerning your child. Ask for the School Administration Office or the Principal.
School fees and payment details are on the enrolment and fees page.
