Lake House Clay and Art Studio (LHC&AS). Classes are for girls registered as 'Home Schooled' with NESA, or those registered with Distance Education. Girls must be 11 years or older to participate. This class focuses on creativity and exploration with clay handbuilding, it also assists the girls to develop peer connections and enhances social skills. Students must always act in a respectful and courteous manner. LHC&AS studio has a zero tolerance policy on verbal or physical misconduct. Students must treat the space and materials with respect, no throwing of materials or wasteful behaviours are accepted. Students may be asked to settle themselves during a class and are expected to be able to do this. Students who are not able to comply with this will have one warning and parents will be notified. After this if any negative behaviours continue, the student will be withdrawn from the program with no refund of fees. If a class within the course is missed by a student, it is forfeited, no refund will be offered for this missed class. Withdrawal of the course may occur with 21 days’ or more notice, prior to the start of the course with a full refund. If a student is withdrawn after this period of time (20 – 0 days prior to the class), their deposit is non-refundable. Sibling student rates apply only to a second booking of a student from the same family. One student must be charged at the full rate. LHC&AS asks everyone not to touch the work of others in the studio or on the grounds. Parents are welcome to wait in the covered courtyard for their children, there is not enough room within the studio for parents to sit in on classes. If a student requires a support person to assist during classes, please notify LHC&AS prior to booking on 0403129666 to ensure that we can accommodate all requests. All participants may be photographed during the classes, these images can be used for LHC&AS social media, or future LHC&AS promotions, including LHC&AS website. Images will never be shared with any other parties. No payment is offered for any photos used in this way. Each child is issued with aproximately 5kg of clay at the start of term, if a student uses all of their clay before the end of term, more clay will need to be purchased (so far this has not been necessary!). At the end of term, all clay remains the property of LHC&AS. All pieces must be collected within 8 weeks of being notified, after this time the pieces will be given to charity.
