GREEK DANCING: We are delighted that our Greek dancing program will be continuing and we thank Mr Sotiris Sotiriou from Pegasus Dance Academy for his excellent delivery of lessons on our Malvern Valley campus. A rich culture and dance program will also be delivered by our staff on other campuses.

SCHOOL FEES: Despite everything in life recently going up, at Zenon we're always trying to make it easier for families to keep their children at the Greek School, as we understand all the responsibilities and chores parents have in bringing up their offspring. Hence this year again, Greek School fees remain the same as they were last year.
|
ADVICE - SHOES: Please ensure that the children come to Greek school wearing closed shoes or runners. No sandals or thongs allowed as these are not safe for dancing.
|
- ZENON POLO SHIRT: We recommend that students wear their Zenon polo-shirt when attending Greek school. This helps them feel proud and makes them stand out when outside in the school yard. It is our school etiquette and or students should feel confident about themselves.
- If you have a Zenon polo-shirt from last year, please wear it on your first day and every other day you attend Greek school. Hopefully your polo-shirt is not too small, but if you need to order one or if you are a new student, you can order one here: https://zenon-education.org.au/about/school-polo-shirt/
- We will put an order with our new supplier next week, so, if you haven't already ordered your polo-shirt, please order by 24th January. Those parents who already filled the polo order in, do not need to do it again.
