Do classes run all year round?
Classes run the same dates as the Victorian school terms. Classes DO generally operate on public holidays unless otherwise advised.

Can my child enrol for classes mid-term?
During Terms 1 and 2 yes, if there are places available. Enrolments during Term 3 are subject to availability and at the teacher’s discretion as many classes will have already started working towards end-of-year performances. Enrolments will generally not be accepted during Term 4.

Can my child switch from one class to another?
If a class is deemed unsuitable for your child, a transfer to a more appropriate class can be arranged if places are available. Any transfer will be at the discretion of the teacher and/or Director of the School.

Can my child switch from one discipline to another?
Yes, depending upon availability in the new class and your child meeting skill level requirements in the new discipline.

Can parents sit in on classes?
No, parents are not allowed into the studio while classes are on as we feel that this distracts the students. There is a viewing window into Studio A but the other studios are closed. We do however allow parents to sit in on their child’s classes on the last day of each term.

How much do classes cost?
Our fee system is based on a sliding scale, so the more hours you do with us per term the cheaper it becomes per hour. Download our fee schedule here or contact reception for more details of our fee structure.

If my child takes classes at the school does that mean they are automatically part of Centrestage Agency?
No. Entry to Centrestage Agency is by audition only. Auditions are held regularly and if your child is interested you should go to www.centrestageagency.com.au for more information.
