Awards and Scholarships
There will be two
half-scholarships awarded at the end of Term 4.
Junior Scholarship –
Primary to Level 3.
Senior Scholarship –
Level 4 to Excellence.
These scholarships will
halve the recipient’s fees upon enrolment for 2009. Encouragement
awards will also be presented at each level, for each different
style of dance. These awards will be presented at the conclusion of
the 2008 Annual Gala Performance.
Stagecraft Classes
Incorporated into Term 4 classes across the board, and also into rehearsals, will be stagecraft. Children will be taught how to present themselves on stage, how to enter and exit the stage correctly, and how to maintain their persona/character whilst performing on stage. This is a fundamental facet of any form of theatre training.
Please
Remember
1)
Upon enrolment, please
be sure to provide a telephone number where you can be
contacted at all times.
2)
Please notify the ballet
school if you are unavoidably delayed in collecting your child.
3)
Please encourage
children to be responsible for their own belongings.
4)
Please ensure all
clothing is named
(including
shoes; initials are sufficient). No responsibility will be taken for
lost or stolen property.
5)
We would prefer if
parents do not stay to watch classes. A date will be set aside
towards the end of each term for an open day.
6)
Students must be
collected from the studio and will not be permitted to wait in the
corridor or outside the centre. The school cannot be held
responsible if parents do not adhere to this rule.
7)
Students needing to wait
for a late parent must be aware of the class in progress and behave
accordingly. They may not wait unattended outside the venue.
8)
Please be prompt in
collecting your child after class. It is very distracting for the
next class if children are still waiting for a parent.
9)
Ballet school staff are unable to wait with children who are not
collected at the designated time (emergencies an exception). Please
ensure your enrolment details are up to date and correct, with a
current emergency contact number.
