Policies and Procedures

Kick Start to School

Lytton Street School offers a "Kick-start-to-School" Programme for those children who are enrolled to attend our school and will be turning 5 years old this year, and a parent or caregiver who must attend with them. This is a once-a-week class and ideally children should have 6 - 8 sessions, prior to starting school. Please contact the school office for information and enrolment form.

Play Piano and Guitar

Carly-Rose Hulewicz takes Piano lessons at school five days a week. Children (and parents/adults) can learn through avenues of discovery, fun and reflective thinking (as one would do in "play".) Modern and classical options are available as well as practical and theory. Students will also have the opportunity to progress through the piano grades formally by sitting exams. She still has some spots left available.

School Lunches

Students learn best when they eat nutritious food. While we all enjoy the odd treat we encourage students to eat wholesome and nutritious food and drink water. We are pleased to be part of the healthy school lunches programme which provides each student access to a free nutritious lunch in school every day.
