Rasa
02 0912 0050457 00
Fees are due on or before the invoice due date - ONCE FEES ARE PAID, YOU MAY CONSIDER YOUR PLACE CONFIRMED. We are no longer able to accept enrolments without payment and students who turn up will be required to sit out the class until resolved, unless an arrangement has been made via email (admin@rasaschoolofdance.com) before the term begins.
Please REFERENCE the STUDENTS FULL NAME & the NAME OF THEIR CLASS including day if possible (this is written on all invoices). For example- Jo Smith Fri. UIL6
Unless paying via Internet ALL FEES MUST be in a sealed envelope with the student’s name & class clearly written and delivered to the office prior to the first class of term.
Please get in touch if you have any concerns regarding payment by the due date and we will do our best to come to an agreement regarding payment terms that work for you. We are always happy to negotiate if you are in genuine need, but an emailed conversation is required each term to arrange this.
NEW STUDENTS AND ROLL-OVER ENROLMENTS: If fees are not paid in full before classes commence and a student attends a class, they will be asked to sit out unless an arrangement has been made via email (admin@rasaschoolofdance.com) before the term begins.
All students enrolling will remain enrolled for the year until we are notified by email of their withdrawal. This applies both during the term and at the start of a new term. If a student withdraws, a $15 admin fee + $20 for each class will be charged until the date we are notified they will not be continuing. If we are advised after week 4 of term a full term fee will apply. This also applies to roll-over enrolments. If we are not advised of your withdrawal a $15 admin fee + $20 for each class is charged until we are advised.
It is the person completing the enrolment forms responsibility to provide a spell checked, current email address that is checked regularly. School notices and invoices will be sent to this email account. It is their responsibility to forward any emailed info to other relevant parties in the family (in the case of blended families, other caregivers, or the students themselves). It is strongly recommended that a family member or student join the Rasa Facebook group or page to access additional information.
2. Strictly NO REFUNDS on term fees or missed classes. Please do not miss classes unless unwell. RETURNING STUDENTS: In paying term fees you are agreeing to commit to taking your place in class for the duration of the term. For this reason, invoices are sent 2-3 weeks prior to the following term starting, to give plenty of time to advise of your withdrawal from your class.
Note: transfers to the following term are acceptable for medical reasons only by providing a medical certificate.
In the case of any pandemic-related disruption, it is at the discretion of the Rasa owners to decide how to proceed with offering classes. If we are not able to offer physical classes, online classes will be offered. When classes are allowed to resume, all relevant health and safety regulations will be adhered to by Rasa staff and management. If a student makes a decision to not participate, there will be no refund or transfer of classes offered.
3. Classes are not held during school term holidays.
4. LATE FEE PAYING STUDENTS are not guaranteed a place in the class if the class is deemed to be full by the Principal. In regards to fee arrangements, If fees are not paid in full by Week 4 and we have received no communication in regards to this, a 25% late fee will be added to the invoice and this will become the amount owing. If the late fee is not paid it will continue to be added to further invoices until resolved.
5. LATE ENROLMENTS will be accepted if the class is not full – the term fee remains payable until the 4th class after which the fee will be adjusted at the discretion of the Principal.

6. Appropriate attire must be worn to all dance classes – [refer dance class dress code notice]
7. Appropriate behavior is expected while in and around the King Edward Court Building. As our studios are in a multi-tenanted, privately owned building it is expected that our students and families are respectful of this. Please do not run, yell, fight, squirt water or leave a mess, etc. when attending or waiting for classes. The building manager makes the ultimate decision to refuse the right of entry in these circumstances.
8. RASA SCHOOL OF DANCE, its teachers, employees, and representatives follow health and safety regulations as required by ACC, and Health and Safety legislation and they will follow the correct protocols, taking all care in regards to the health, safety, and well being of all students, while in class and during any occasions that may require the students to perform outside of the Rasa studios. With this knowledge, I release RASA SCHOOL OF DANCE of any liability for unforeseen accidents or injuries that may occur while attending dance classes or during the dress rehearsal or end-of-year shows. I am responsible for the safe drop off and pick up of my child at the appropriate times and understand that once outside the Rasa studios (this being the leased rooms in the King Edward Court building, used for dance classes), Rasa is in no way liable for the care or protection of the enrolled student or any of their family members.
9. Any photographs or videos taken at RASA SCHOOL OF DANCE may be used for the purpose of promoting the school from time to time.
