7) Classes are generally graded by age. Student’s are not able to go up to the next age group. However, they may move down to a lower age group if you have two children enrolled and you wish for them to be in the same class. Student’s may only be moved to the next age group at the teachers’ discretion. This will depend on the child’s dancing ability.
8) Jiving Juniors operates a strict Anti-Bullying Policy. Bullying of teachers, students or staff members will result in a child or parent being asked to leave the school. The decision on such issues is final and is at the discretion of the owner.
9) Jiving Juniors must be made aware at the time of registration of any relevant medical conditions, special needs, or allergies a child or young person may have. Please ensure that this is done before they attend class. Our staff need to be aware of any issues relating to use of EpiPens, inhalers or any diabetic requirements.

11) Students participate in class at their own risk and are responsible for their own belongings.

Please ensure you let the school know in writing if you do not consent to the use of images as described above. This is dealt with in the enrolment form.
13) Class times are subject to change at the discretion of management. (And depending on class numbers)
