Refund Policy

As we are a not for profit organisation, all activities are run so that they cover the cost of the venue, instructors and consumables.  As a result of this there is no refund for change of mind, missed events or classes, as instructors, presenters and the venue still need be paid.  If an event or class is cancelled due to instructor/presenter illness or unavailability of the venue then the cost of that event/class will be refunded.

Note if classes/events are cancelled due to COVID-19 safety concerns then only 50% of the fee for the cancelled class/event will be refunded to families.  The remaining 50% will be used to cover the cost of the venue, instructors and consumables.
