Class procedures

12. If your child attends any classes during the term, you are liable to pay for the full term’s invoice.

13. Students who are permanently enrolled are automatically re-enrolled each term unless formal written notification of withdrawal or change of class has been made.

14. Entries for RAD examinations/class awards and any class changes are at the discretion of Claire Henry School of Dance.

15. Pre-Vocational classes – entry into this class is by invitation only and the class must be taken in addition to at least one Graded class. Enrolment is guaranteed for a maximum of one year and during this time will undertake an assessment carried out by the teacher and Dance School Principal. The assessment will determine whether the student will move into Intermediate Foundation, continue in the Pre-Vocational class or continue with their Graded classes. Moving into the vocational stream will be at the sole discretion of the Dance School Principal.

Permissions (Photographic consent)

16. Upon registration, parents are asked to opt in or opt out of photographic consent for their child/ward. Parents will be notified in writing when photographic sessions take place.

Discounts

17. Where two or more siblings attend class at the Dance School, the youngest sibling will receive a 10% sibling discount on all classes in which they are enrolled. The discount will be applied at the start of the term of enrollment for each class the youngest sibling is enrolled in, providing at least two siblings are still enrolled in the Dance School. In the event the eldest sibling leaves during a term, the discount will not apply at the start of the next term if only one sibling remains.
