Your first day – what to expect

Haere Mai, Welcome!

Sign in sheet

This is located on the sign in desk by the main door – please remember to sign your child in when you arrive, and sign out them again when you collect them at the end of the day. Please note – ONLY those authorised by you on your child’s enrolment form can collect your child. If you are arranging for someone else to collect your child, please let us know.

Bag hooks/Lunch boxes

Encourage your child to find their name tag in the cloak bay and hang bags/coats etc on a hook. Place lunch boxes in a cubby, and remember anything cold (yogurt etc) can be placed in the fridge container (usually located on the bench above the cubby when you arrive in the morning).
