What to pack

Altona Kindergarten enjoys a mix of indoor and outdoor play, so a change of clothes for each session is important, as well as a sunhat during the warmer months, or warm hat / beanie along with a jumper and jacket during the colder months.

Recycling

Throughout the year we will ask for recyclable items such as cardboard boxes to assist with the children’s creations.
