Elementary & Middle School Orientation Day

High School Fall Excursion

NOVA’s 9th – 12th grade students are invited to this year’s fall excursion to Krushevo and its surroundings, as well as a brief stop in Prilep. In Prilep they’ll walk around the downtown area, while in Krushevo they’ll visit the monument Makedonium, Meckin Kamen and the new monastery built in memory of our late singer Tose Proeski. The excursion will take place on Wednesday, September 17th, with buses departing at 8am, in front of the school, and returning at approximately 6pm.

The cost of the trip is 550 denars, organized by the tourist agency Putnik Alta Tours. Students should bring their own food for the day and dress weather appropriate, as they will spend most of the time outdoors. The amount is due in full at our accountant’s office no later than Friday, September 12th.

Students participating in the excursion should be reminded that they represent NOVA International Schools and are expected to behave according to the school’s conduct and discipline code. Any problems arising out of inappropriate behaviour will be the responsibility of the parent or guardian signing the permission slip.
One teacher per 10 students from NOVA will accompany the group and your child will be under their direct supervision.

This enclosed letter of consent must be signed and returned by Friday, September 12th, together with payment, in order for your son/daughter to attend the excursion.

For Seniors

The sign-up times for the month of September have been posted in the library, on the left-hand side cork board. Do sign up, and make a note for yourself when your appointment is.
