CANCELLATION BY ART SCHOOL CO:

Art School Co. reserves the right to amend any class, tutor or schedule. In such circumstances, we will endeavour to provide a substitute of equal standing. Should a class have to be cancelled due to insufficient enrolments, any student enrolled in that class will be contacted and an alternative class, credit or refund arranged.

Art School Co. will not be liable for cancellations or changes caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including illness, government restrictions or natural disasters. 

REFUNDS AND TRANSFERS:

Please consider your class booking carefully before you enrol, as we do not offer refunds for change of mind. Refunds may be considered in exceptional circumstances (eg. serious illness) at the sole discretion of Art School Co. No refunds will be given for Starter Classes. 

A term's classes cannot be deferred to another term.

Transfers are available in some classes provided there is availability.

In the event you cannot attend a workshop you may send someone else in your place. Notification must be received prior to the class.

CLASSES:

We encourage all students to bring their water bottles for use during class. Please ensure that they are named. We will provide some snacks. BYO food is permitted.

Students should arrive no earlier than 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Students are required to sign in each week and fill in a name tag. Parents of Primary School Classes are required to sign their child in and out of the class. The responsibility of your child remains with you until the class has started.

Pick up is required within 5 minutes of the class finish time. Children who are not picked up will be asked to remain in the waiting area for their parent/guardian. If you are arranging for someone other than yourself to pick up your child please notify Art School Co. at the beginning of the class. Please reiterate to your child that they must remain on the Art School Co. property until their parent/guardian has picked them up.

CLASS ABSENCES:

 

If you/your child are unable to attend a class, there is no need to let us know unless it’s for a few weeks in a row, then you are able to put your subscription on hold. If you pay upfront for classes and miss a class you can do this as a catch up class within the term. 

If you or your child has been too unwell to attend work or school, you should not attend art class. We appreciate this courtesy to avoid the spread of illness to other students and staff.

Make-Up classes can be made during the current Term you are enrolled in by attending another class (subject to availability). There is no need to contact us about make-up classes, just come along and we will do our best to fit you in. Please make sure to check in with a teacher when attending a makeup class and before sitting down as students enrolled in that class will receive priority. 

 

SUPPLIES:

The majority of art supplies are included in the tuition fee. Any additional supplies individual students want may be purchased at our store.

DRESS CODE:

There is no dress code however we do recommend that all students ‘dress for mess’. We cannot be held responsible for any clothing that gets damaged during art classes. You / your child will feel more relaxed to explore and create if you / they are not concerned with worry over messy clothes.

We recommend school students bring a change of clothes and don’t wear their school uniform.

From time to time we take photos during class of students and artworks. These photos are used for Art School Co’s promotional purposes such as press advertising, brochures, social media, editorials and website.
