1. Enrolment: Registration for classes is on an ongoing basis. This means once your child is enrolled, you do not have to re-enrol each term. FOUR WEEKS NOTICE IN WRITING prior to the start of a new term is required for leaving the school. This is necessary to allow for forward planning and to ensure spaces for those on waiting lists are available. If the notice is not given, half a terms fees will be due. Each term is guaranteed as 9 weeks, although most are 10 and occasionally 11, no extra charge for longer terms will be incurred. Once the term has commenced, no refunds will be given if leaving before the end of the term

6. Safeguarding Policy: Priority is given to keep all students safe by minimising risk of injury as well as ensuring no bullying, physical or psychological harm is inflicted. Any allegations or concerns should be brought to the Principal, Kirsty Farrow. It should also be noted that dance by nature carries a risk of accident and/or injury which Create Dance Studio and its teachers cannot be responsible for.
7. Students are supervised for class time only. It is the caregivers/parent’s responsibility to ensure the student is collected and not waiting outside the studio.
8. Code of Conduct: High standards of behaviour are expected of all pupils to encourage discipline and respect for others. This includes listening attentively and avoiding disturbing the learning and concentration of others, arriving on time for class, regular attendance and wearing correct uniform. Children who consistently misbehave in class may be asked to leave the group.
9. Invoices Outstanding: Any invoices overdue will be referred to debt collection services if not paid with 3 months of due date. Any additional fees incurred through the debt collection agency will be added to the outstanding invoice total and the person named on the original outstanding invoice will be responsible for the charges.
