Enrolment

Invoices for tuition fees will be sent to parents/ guardians before the beginning of each term.

Invoices are payable at least 14 days prior to the beginning of term to secure your child’s place.

Families are responsible for reading the Prospectus and ensuring all contact and account details remain current.

Enrolment is subject to availability

Placement is confirmed only once terms fees and the yearly registration fee of $35 per family are paid

Trial classes do not guarantee enrolment

Teachers determine correct level placement. Progression is based on readiness, not age alone

Class changes may occur for student development

Student enrolments are automatically continued into the following term unless written notice is provided by email prior to the new term commencing. We require two weeks of notice in writing for any child who decides to leave the studio. Your account will be charged up until the end of the term, all fees are due and payable

Once enrolled in a class, students are expected to remain in that class for the duration of the term. Transfers or changes may only be approved for the following term.

Once fees for a new term have been invoiced, the full amount remains payable, regardless of withdrawal or class changes during the term.

During Term 1, a two-week trial and placement period applies to allow students to explore suitable classes and levels.

Once Term 3 has commenced, class changes are generally not permitted due to rehearsals and preparations for the end-of-year performance.

Fees and Payments

All fees are charged per term and paid in advance.

Fees secure a place in class, not attendance

No refunds or credits once term has started

Late payments may result in loss of place

Discounts (if offered) have specific conditions

Students are encouraged to participate in the annual concert performance. Costume production is managed externally, and a non-refundable costume fee applies to each performance item.

Parents or guardians who do not wish their child to participate in the concert must advise the studio at the time of enrolment so costume fees are not applied.

Should there be new restrictions put in place the studio will move back to online classes and all term fees will cover access to those continued classes. No refunds are available for fees as long as the studio is able to continue offering online classes under any Victorian Government Restrictions.
