Waiting List

The waiting lists for some of our classes are quite long. The department will take a view on this in the next couple of weeks to try and schedule more classes next term. We would love for all our young aspiring dancers to be able to participate in class so keep checking in with us to see additional timetabling.

Dance Curriculum Senior Students

Please remember to collect the key to the Junior Campus from the Secondary School Office prior to class. The office isn’t always able to assist you with a key on arrival or departure from the Ballet School.

Exams

RAD exams entries will be going in soon. Students participating in RAD Ballet exams must be attending at least two Ballet classes per week to be considered for the grade being examined. If any students do not want to be put forward for an exam, please make sure to let your teacher know. 

Good luck to all the students doing their exams in June.

Edumate

Most of our Curriculum and Dance Academy classes are now online. This means that we can mark attendance online as well as show a student’s full daily commitment to the School. Some students work in the Ballet studio as late as 7.30pm many nights of the week to perfect their craft. Being part of the rest of the timetable means that teachers can see those commitments online.

Lost Property

Thank you to all those parents and students who collected their lost property. We have now disposed of the clothing that is not part of the Redlands uniform and remained uncollected.

Can’t Come to Class?

Please do not forget to let us know if sickness, injury or change of circumstance has occurred.
