Please note: As a courtesy to our parents and students, a missed or cancelled class can be made up in any other class fitting the technical level of the student. The Reception needs to be notified that a student is in for a make-up class. Classes missed in Term 1 (or Session 1 for Music and Movement) must be made up before the term or session finishes. When prolonged sickness or prolonged absences beyond control overlap from Term 1 into Term 2, the office needs to be notified and arrangements made to allow classes missed in Term 1 (session 1) to be made up in Term 2 (session 2).
