The Extra Curriculum Program

Dear Parents / Dear Guardians,

Please be advice that we have already started our Extra Curriculum Classes. The schedule for the extra curriculum programs is as follows:


Piano lessons: Monday morning
group classes - $70 per month
private classes - to be discussed with music teacher

The pottery is a three-dimensional activity and it forces children to think about structure, shapes and forms.

Clay is a fantastic material and children love the experience of working with their hands in "mud" and they enjoy creating the things. Children are involved in very fun creation of shapes and forms from wet clay. These prints and forms, providing lasting memories and becoming cherished keepsakes.

Clay classes will be running on Tuesday afternoons at 1:30 p.m. and the cost is $80 for the month.

Also older children from the toddler class are accepted.

Please let us know as soon as possible.

Thank you.
