Need a walkover
for an afterschool
course?
If your child attends First Ave Public School, Mutchmor Public School, Corpus Christi School
or Glebe Montessori, and you require pick-up, we are glad to make it more convenient for you
for selected afterschool courses. Choose the walkover that matches the day of your activity.
Once you are registered, contact the school and let them know that GNAG has authorization
to pick up your child afterschool on the day of the program they are attending.
Cost: $28 (refunds will not be issued for this service). If your child will be absent from walk-
over, you must notify GNAG by 2:00 pm of that day or it will cause a long delay for all the
other children while we search for your child.
Q4 discount: Children who are registered full time in Q4 or Kinder Q4 can have a 25%
discount on the afterschool courses in the chart below. Please contact GNAG BEFORE you
register to receive your Q4 discount.
