POLICIES OF ENROLMENT
BVSD wants all students and parents to enjoy their dance experience
So there are no surprise fees and each family understand exactly what to expect we have listed our guidelines and policies here.
By filling out an enrolment form, all students and their parent/guardians are agreeing to the following.
TERM FEES
●All term fees are to be paid in the first 4 weeks of term. All terms fees received after this date may incur a late fee.
● Classes need a minimum of 6 students to run and classes under 6 students may be cancelled. In the event that a class is cancelled you will be offered a full refund for the remaining classes or transfer into another class.
● All families who have 4 or more classes within the family will receive a 10% discount on term fees (There is no discount for private classes).
●If payment is still not received by the last week of term a notice will be sent home cancelling enrolment for the student and no classes may be attended until this overdue amount has been amended. I understand financial problems can pop up from time to time – if you are experiencing financial difficulty and having trouble paying your fees please feel free to call me to organize a payment plan.
ENROLMENT
●All students are required to pay a $15 enrolment fee which covers insurances and Apra costs. Registration fees cannot be refunded under any circumstances.
●Enrolment is for one year of classes. You may cancel your enrolment during this time however you must pay for all classes attended and please give as much notice as possible of your discontinuation of enrolment. Any costumes that have been ordered for you or will have to be paid for.
● If you wish to unenroll in any classes you must email BVSD directly.
●All classes within each term must be paid for regardless of attendance. As fees are charged for all weeks of that term we encourage students to attend all classes in order to get their moneys worth. We do understand that in some circumstances this may be necessary, please contact me in advance if you wish to discuss missed classes.
INVOICES
●An invoice will be sent out within the first week of the term. Invoices will be sent out via email.
●$20 costume fee is added on to the invoice for each student and style of dance for term 1, term 2 and term 3 only. This payment is compulsory and will go towards the initial purchase for your child's end of year costume. In term 4 you will receive a remaining balance and this will be added on to your invoice for term 4 or money will be returned if costume was less than $60.00.
If you choose to cancel enrolment at any time costume fees will be refunded, however if any items have already been purchased for your child's costume the remaining balance, if any, will be refunded.
UNIFORM
Students are required to abide to a general dress code during classes. This will be detailed in your first newsletter once your enrolment form has been submitted.
STUDENT AND PARENT BEHAVIOUR
Students are expected to show respect to fellow students, teachers, and parents at all times. Bullying will not be tolerated in any form, and any incidents will be taken seriously and addressed immediately. Parents are kindly asked to remain outside the studio during class times, as voices carry in the space and can easily distract young students. Additionally, parents are expected to treat both students and teachers with respect at all times. Bullying or inappropriate behaviour by parents toward teachers, students, or other parents will also not be tolerated.
DROP OFF AND PICK UP
In the interest of safety we ask that students are not to be at the studio outside of class their class times. Students are not supervised by our staff outside of their class times and this means we can not ensure their safety at that time. It is at a parents discretion to drop their dancer early to classes, and they are knowingly leaving their child unsupervised.
CONCERT
The concert is usually held at the end of November. There are two extra rehearsals, a stage rehearsal and a dress rehearsal, that the students are required to attend at the end of the year. These rehearsal will cost a minimum of $20 ($10 each rehearsal) depending on how many styles you do. To watch the end of year concert you will need to purchase a ticket ($12-$16).
CONTACT
I Understand and consent that dance is a physical form of exercise, therefore it may be necessary for a teacher to engage in contact to enable correct posture, correct body alignment or to administer first aid. As dancing is a physical sport, BVSD and its staff cannot be responsible for any injuries obtained as a result of classes and for the students welfare before and after classes.
FIRST AID
I consent for staff to administer first aid which can include; bandages, Band-Aids, ice packs, soothing creams and antiseptic. In the case of an emergency and parents are not present, staff will contact either the numbers provided or other medical treatment as deemed appropriate. Students should obtain their own insurance in case of accident or injury.
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO
I give permission for my child to have their photo or video taken during lessons or events. I also consent to having these images or videos shared on BVSD social media and marketing materials. If you do not wish to give consent or have any questions, please let me know during enrolment.
