By placing yourself (son or daughter) on the wait list, you will be placed in a queue. Persons in the waitlist will be contacted in order of submission. In some cases, priority is given to students who are entering or currently in Year 12 (twelve).
Placement cannot be guaranteed even if a request is submitted. We reserve the right to refuse any request. Generally, however, we attempt to match up our availability with that of individual student’s availability (as recorded in the request).
We must also stress that in person placements are only offered at our Beecroft (NSW) premises.
We do endeavour to place as many students, accepting an offer of placement, with a scheduled appointment that is deemed recurring on weekly basis.
We do not offer ‘Trial Lessons’ as it simply does not fit in with our schedule.
For other student’s who do not receive a permanent placement, we may offer the occasional ‘ad hoc’ / casual times on a first come first served basis.
