POLICIES

Studio Policies - 2011

Please note the following guidelines regarding all classes:

1.     Class Placements
Careful placement of students in classes at an appropriate level is taken very seriously. It is extremely important to the proper development and safety of the student. The final placement of student is at the discretion of the Director(s).

2.    Uniform
            We request that students carefully observe our dress code outlined.      

3.     Parent viewing policy
It is understandable that when younger students are settling into classes having a Parent/Carer close by can be an important part of instilling confidence in your child.
All students are encouraged not to leave the room once class has begun. Please allow for appropriate restroom use prior to class.  Very young children will be treated sensitively as the need arises. Preschool children may need a parent’s attention from time to time for various reasons including bathroom or behavior issues. Please do not leave the waiting area when very young children are in class without informing a Teacher or having another parent responsible during your absence. We make every effort to have all children feel safe and cared for in a loving and inspiring learning environment.
Open Days
Parents, family and friends are invited to watch classes generally once per term. Dates will be set by the Principal and a notice will be sent out accordingly.
Out of town guests may request to visit at any time throughout the year.  No one else is allowed to sit and watch during regular class time.
            Please note:
              It is the responsibility of the Parent/Carer to supervise babies/siblings who accompany them.

4.     Annual Performances/Open Day/Awards/Presentations
All students are offered the opportunity to participate in the Annual Performance/Open Day. Students wishing to participate must commit to attending additional rehearsals during Term 4. All students must attend the dress rehearsals.

5.     Working with Children
All Teachers at Central Coast Baby Ballet have a working with children certificate as required by relevant legislation from time to time.
Please note: the nature of dance occasionally requires student-teacher contact for the purposes of placement and correction of technique.
Although Central Coast Baby Ballet will take all due care in the event of accidents, no responsibility by the studio will be accepted.

6.      Parents must inform us of any change of address or telephone number.


7.     School age children and teens: please practice respect.  Students are not to be socializing in a disruptive manner during the class with other students. Please honor your teacher and fellow students by giving full attention and co-operation.  You will be advised if we feel any student is not well adjusted to the classroom environment for any reason over time.

8.     During class if a student complains of being ill, or sustains an injury and cannot participate, the teacher will notify parent/caregiver immediately.

9.     In Term 4 Parents/Carers  are required to notify CCBB in writing if your child/children will  be returning the following year. CCBB has waiting list for classes and this policy is necessary to allow CCBB to enrol new students for the up and coming year.




REGULATIONS

1.  No smoking is allowed on the premises.

2. A high standard of behaviour and cooperation is expected from students at all times.

3. Chewing gum is not permitted on the premises. Food and drinks are not allowed in the studios. Water bottles permitted.

4. Children are only to leave the studio with parents/carers, or an organised car pool.

5. Belongings and valuables should be labelled and not to be left unattended.

6. We request that children are taken to the toilet before their class commences to avoid disruption to class.


Dance class is education and fun, however, an important part of class work is developing an attitude of discipline and respect for teachers and fellow students. We trust that following our classroom etiquette will provide an environment whereby classes at Central Coast Baby Ballet will be a pleasure for all concerned.
