On no, it’s “Back to School”! Or maybe it’s “Yay”, finally a bit of me time. Whichever it is, I usually find February is hot, steamy and sticky, so after school the first things kids want to do is get an ice cream, take off their school shoes and run into the cool water or better still, jump right in and go for an afternoon surf. If that sounds like your kids, then you’ll love the late start to this term … the day before Valentine’s Day! All classes have a maximum of six students and are run as multi-aged, family style class where each student is taught at their specific skill level. Please pop into the studio and see for yourself or call me on 0414 339 721 if you have any questions.

Monday 13th February – Monday 2nd April 2012

A few places are still available in the following classes. When these classes are full, other classes may be offered.

If you would like to join a class at another time, please phone 0414 339 721

DAYTIME (Adults): MON 10-12noon

AFTER SCHOOL (Children/Teens): MON from 4pm

EVENING (Adults/Youth): MON 7-9pm

OPEN (all ages): SAT 11-3pm (casuals welcome)
