ACTING CLASSES FOR VARIOUS AGE GROUPS ARE RUN AT THE THEATRE

PALS



Of course there is always a certain amount of flexibility in these age ranges, so feel free to discuss with us which class will best suit your child’s individual needs. There may also be times in the year that classes are closed to enrolments, especially the older classes as if they are working on a play or certain project it can be hard to accommodate new students until they move on, so keep an eye out for any of those updates. 


Also Note your fees will be payable online this year, and you should receive an invoice within the first few weeks of term with information on how to pay. As well as the term fees, it is a requirement for insurance that your child is a member of the theatre, which is a $5 dollar membership fee every financial year, and an adult must be a member of the Henry The Henry Sports Club as we are located inside their premises. Also be reminded that an adult must walk your child through the club to and from class. 


NEW STUDENTS are invited to come down to a free trial class (as long as the class is open to enrolments) to see if they like it before signing up, just pop a message in my inbox to let me know you are coming along. 


Here is a link to the current year’s calendar, We will be adding the rest of the terms soon, so keep checking it for updates! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G2IOvaRaLQJyiWkYBkynAyvN2tGISd5G8Cho3PUYghU
