Where Can I Buy the Uniform?

Can I come and watch?

Parent Viewing

Although we welcome parental support, we have found that parents in the classroom  are a distraction and draw the attention away from the teacher.
Parents, grandparents and friends are welcome to view the last class of each term.

Will there be a chance to see our kids in a recital?

Yes each year there is an “End of Year” concert

Held in November at Atherton High School Community Hall. Each class is taught routines throughout the year which they are given the opportunity to perform. The concert allows students to showcase their talents and demonstrate their improvement, this provides stage confidence, self esteem and of course a lot of fun. We aim to have a “no sewing” concert and students may keep purchased costumes.
