Did you miss term 1 newsletter? This is what you missed:

WOW how fast has the term flown! The concert was amazing and well worth the wait! A big hello and Welcome to all the new families at Stepping Out! The last week for term 1 classes will be Saturday the 9^th of April; there will then be 2 weeks of school holidays. Classes will resume the 30^th of April. Term 2 will see the introduction to a few timetable changes. We have tried to group classes together in age groups to make pickups and drop of easier for parents. I understand many students have other Saturday commitments we sincerely hope this does not affect anyone’s ability to attend class. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Just a reminder it is a Stepping Out dance Factory policy that parents are not to watch classes as it is a major distraction for the students, especially the little ones. Because there have been so many new students I have allowed parents to watch classes so they know how the classes are run. Everyone should now feel confident with the classes and classes will now become closed to parents. Parents are very welcome to stay and wait in the waiting area. We understand how much you like watching the classes and seeing the little ones dance so you are welcome to view the last class of each term. Please note if a new enrolment starts their parents are allowed to watch their first class.

There will be holiday classes for the performance team in week 2 of the holidays.
