Following each session, you will receive an assessment report about your child's literacy skills, strengths and any areas for improvement.

The refundable deposit will be retained in order to cover the cost of any resources lost/damaged or towards payment of fees should inadequate notice be given for withdrawing a child from class.  The registration fee is per family as a one-off payment. This payment includes the Links to Literacy book bag and any catch-up work that may be required. In addition, it includes pre-course tasks and a wooden treasure box for the Fun with Phonics class students. If it is not clear which class best meets a student's needs, then a free assessment will be provided.

• Notice for the withdrawal of a child from group lessons is three full months before the end of a semester. Otherwise, the semester fees will be due in full. 

• Parents are required to have health, accident and liability insurance for their children. 

• Classes for the following academic year are organized in April and current students, and their siblings, always have priority.
