We welcome you to join us and hear more about the IGCSE programme at Nexus on Wednesday 8th November between 6pm and 8pm.

Thank you to all those who attended the IBDP options event on Thursday 2nd. It was great to see so many of you there. We hope you were able to ask all your questions and that spending time with teachers and learners was useful. To help you all through the process we have created this microsite to host all the information and contacts you may need.  The form to select your options can be found on Selecting and recording your options page. Please note we ask for options to be submitted by Friday 8th December. 

Nexus International School (Singapore) aims to be a healthy eating school and we ask that parents help us to achieve this.

During morning snack time we allow fruit and cut vegetables, yoghurts or cereal bars with water or fruit juice for a healthy and nutritious snack. This snack should be brought in from home. Alternatively, children in Years 3 to 6 can purchase healthy snacks from the Level 5 Cafeteria. Please ensure that snacks are kept in a different container to the packed lunch boxes.

Children are required to have a water bottle in school at all times. Water is available all the time and learners can fill up their water bottles from our filtered fountains. Children have easy access to the water fountains in all our learning hubs.

Learners are monitored in the cafeterias and are expected to sit whilst they are eating and remember their table manners. They are also expected to tidy up after themselves. Parents will be advised if their child is not eating well at snack or lunchtime. Please speak directly to your child’s class teacher if you have any concerns around their eating.

Some children and staff have severe nut allergies. For this reason, our cafeterias do not sell products containing nuts. We would also like to request families not to provide their children with nuts or products containing nuts in their snack or lunch boxes. This is particularly true for our younger learners who are always interested in what other children are eating.

To encourage children to become more independent in their eating habits we have in place the following developmental approach:

• Nursery, Kindergarten, Years 1 and 2 learners use their own dedicated cafeteria on Level 1. All children are asked to bring their own morning snacks and for lunch children will either have a packed lunch or a pre-paid school meal.

• Children in Years 3 to 6 have the option of bringing their own morning snacks and packed lunch. Alternatively, they can have a pre-paid school meal or purchase snacks and lunches from the cafeteria on Level 5. We will help them make healthy choices.

Friday morning break time is ‘treat time’ and children in Years 3 to 6 may purchase snacks from the full range available in our cafeteria (at morning break only). This includes pastries, crisps, doughnuts and cookies. Children are not allowed to bring chewing gum, sweets, candy, chocolates, bubble gum and fizzy drinks to school.

The cafeteria operator has a dedicated email (cafeteria@nexus.edu.sg) to order the pre-paid meals and answer any queries you have. The pre-paid meal is available on a monthly basis and must be ordered before the start of each month. The cafeteria menus are all available on our website.

At Chartwells, we are committed to serving up happy and healthy meals. We believe that the key to our delicious meals is our genuine passion for crafting nourishing dishes for the school community. We value your feedback, and that's why we're conducting a survey to gain insights into your expectations and discover ways to enhance your dining experience. Your feedback is invaluable in guiding our continuous improvement efforts.
