Make-Up Lesson Policy 2025
At Flying Fox Studios, we aim to be as flexible as possible with make-up lessons for our term-based programs. We understand that unexpected situations can arise, so we offer make-up classes in line with the guidelines below. Make up lessons are not available for one-off workshops or events.
Here at Flying Fox Studios we try to be as flexible as possible with make-up lessons for our term programs. We understand unexpected things can come up at the last minute, so a make up class can be issued, subject to the guidelines listed below.
How to Book a Make-Up Lesson
-
Make-up classes must be booked through our office via email or by phoning the studio.
- Make-up bookings cannot be made online, as they are manually scheduled.
General Guidelines
-
Your regular class will continue as scheduled, and your place is held even if you are absent.
-
Missed classes are non-refundable and non-creditable for future classes.
-
Make-up classes are only available in classes listed in our current published timetable.
- Bookings are essential for all make-up lessons.
Notification Requirements
-
Unlike many studios, we do not require 24 hours' notice to be eligible for a make-up lesson. However we do appreciate this as a courtesy.
-
While we appreciate advance notice, you may still book a make-up lesson even if you notify us shortly before the class begins.
- if you miss your scheduled make-up class without notice, it will be considered used and cannot be rebooked
Make-Up Class Limits and Timing
-
You may book up to 3 make-up classes per child, per term in advance.
-
Additional make-up classes can be booked on the day if space is available.
-
Make up lessons cannot be 'banked'. Make-up lessons must be used within the same enrolled term/unit. Make-up lessons cannot be carried over across multiple terms unless under specific approved circumstances
Exception:
If your child misses the final class of term due to an unexpected illness, contact our office to arrange a Week 1 make-up in the following term.
This exception does not apply to known schedule conflicts such as holidays, events, or other planned activities.
Make-Up Class Flexibility
-
Make-up classes may be attended:
-
In the same week as your missed class, or
-
In a different week within the term (e.g., attending twice in one week).
-
-
If you attend two lessons in one week for the same age group and program, note that it will be a repeat of the same class content.
Many children do enjoy repeated content, they love having a second try of a familiar activity.
Availability and Class Capacity
-
We reserve two places per class for make-up students. If the make-up allocation in a class is full, our team can help you find an alternative time or day that suits your child’s age group and program
-
Even if a class is listed as full, these two spots may still be available for make-up use.
-
Make-up spots can book out quickly - especially near the end of term.
Please book early if you anticipate needing a make-up in the final weeks of term.
Program Crossover and Restrictions
-
Students may attend make-up lessons in any term program suitable for their age (e.g., a Kindermusik student may attend a ZoomArt or Fox Blocks class).
-
Make-up classes are not available for Holiday Workshops.
Using Your Make-Up Lesson for Others
-
If you’re unable to attend your make-up class, a friend or sibling may attend in your place. Please note both siblings and friends can only join classes that are suitable for their current age / grade.
Extended Absences and Credit Requests
-
If your child misses 3 or more consecutive lessons due to illness or an unexpected personal circumstance, you may apply for rollover credit.
-
Appropriate medical documentation may be required.
-
Credits will not be granted for other reasons, including:
-
Holidays
-
Exams
-
School camps
-
Conflicting activities
-
On Arrival for Your Make-Up Lesson
-
Please check in at our office and collect a make-up lesson slip.
-
This slip must be handed to your teacher at the beginning of the class.
