FAQ’s

Do I have to book for the whole week?

Yes – students are working towards a performance on the last day, so they need attend the full week to create and rehearse for the performance.

This is a free course, however, fees will be applied for late pick up. Please pick up your student promptly or inform the office if they are ok to make their own way home.
