These workshops are recommended for children aged between 4 to 11 years old. As our workshops are hands-on and interactive, we limit the registrations to 20 children per workshop. The workshops are run/managed by 2-3 professors to ensure each child receives the attention they need. Our school holiday workshops book out very fast; to ensure you secure a spot, you will need to book online as soon as you can. If fully-booked, we can add you to the waitlist but there is no guarantee that your child/children will be enrolled in the workshop. If the holiday programs do not reach minimum enrollment threshold (8 children) it will not go ahead and if you have paid you will be refunded  in full.
