Our Terms & Conditions

Children's Classes and Cancellations

  1. Enrolments are confirmed on receipt of full payment before the start of the term unless payment arrangements have been discussed with Management.

  2. Tutored classes must be booked for the full term.

  3. Parents/caregivers must drop off and pick up their child at their art studio.

  4. Refunds, less a $15 administration fee, will be made to students who withdraw from a class up to 5 days before course commencement.

  5. WSA may provide a substitute tutor or reschedule a class if necessary.

  6. Refunds will be made for any classes cancelled by WSA.

  7. There are no classes held on public holidays unless otherwise advised.

  8. No one with a conviction for crimes of a sexual or violent nature will be allowed to work with children. Our tutors, working with children, have all agreed to criminal history checks through the Department for Courts/and or Police Department

  9. Children are supervised when at WSA, during class time. A tutor or staff member will ensure that all children are collected by a parent or designated guardian. Wherever practicable, tutors and staff take steps to ensure they are not in a situation where they are alone with a child.

  10. All our classes/workshops and events require a minimum number of participants to be financially viable. Regrettably, there are occasions when we need to cancel classes/workshops as they have not met that minimum number. If that happens then we will refund you in full.

  11. If you change your mind about a class/workshop we need 5 days advance notice. This is so we have time to sell your place. Otherwise, one less person in a class or workshop may mean that we’re not covering our costs and the class/workshop may no longer be viable. If you do cancel we will make a refund (less a $15 admin fee, or $10 if the cost of the class/workshop is less than $60). Otherwise, you can transfer to another current class/workshop if space is available.

  12. We cannot issue a refund or a transfer if you cancel less than 5 days in advance or once the class/workshop has started unless organised with Management.
