Frequently asked questions
What year groups can take part?
It varies by activity. Art and Chess run right across Kindergarten to Year 6, Breakfast with Books is offered for Years 1 to 6, and several of our newer programs – Farm Club, Natural Skincare and Wellbeing, Stitch and Create, Smart Cookies and Woodworking — are designed specifically for Years 5 and 6.
Does my daughter need any prior experience?
No. These programs are designed as an enjoyable introduction for all. Art Programs begin with a joyful Introduction to Artmaking for our youngest girls before progressing to more advanced Artmaking and Ceramics for Years 3 to 6, and Chess is tailored by age group with no experience required to start.
What does a program cost?
Costs vary by program, particularly where materials or ingredients are supplied (as in Art, Natural Skincare, or the TAS Programs).
Can my daughter take part in more than one activity?
Yes. Many of these programs run for just a term or two and sit comfortably alongside Sport, Performing Arts or STEM commitments, making them a great way to try something new without a long-term commitment.
