We do not present productions or take exams. However, parents are invited to visit classes towards the end of each term to observe the work their child has been involved with.
Our part-time school teachers are from our full-time school or are teachers who have been actively involved in, or are currently involved in, professional performance. Our classes focus on vocational development with good training. We aim to build confidence and communication skills within a friendly and informal atmosphere.
