OUR POLICY AND TUITION FEES
PAYMENTS
Lesson fees for 2025 are $60 for 30 minutes (pro rata) or $100 for 45 minutes. Fees are payable prior to the first lesson of each school term (10 weeks). For continuing students, payment is required at Week 8 to secure your spot for the following term. We do not provide credits or refunds if you choose to cancel your child’s enrolment or lessons when term has started, except in cases of compassionate reasons such as serious illness, injury, or bereavement. Payments can be made by cash or bank transfer.
