After School Classes

2023 AFTER SCHOOL MUSIC AND ARTS CLASSES START DATE:
Tuesday 7 February 2023

Classes start on the first week of each term and run for nine (9) weeks. The exception is in term one when we start the second week to allow for late enrolments.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Welcome to our Children’s After School Music and Arts classes which are administered by Auckland Normal Intermediate School. These classes offer your children a wealth of enjoyable, educational and challenging activities for after school participation. The programme is aimed at 5 –13 year old primary school students from our local community. It is subsidised by the Ministry of Education and follows the New Zealand curriculum guidelines.

HOW TO ENROL

To enrol your child online simply browse our after school classes and add items to your shopping cart. To add an item to your shopping cart, just scan the respective class days and experience level/age that’s appropriate for your child and then click “Add to Cart”. Once you have finished browsing and wish to pay for your class(es) proceed to checkout, which always appears at the bottom of your cart on the right of each page. Remember if you want to enrol more than one child online, you need to create an individual shopping cart for each child.

Should an after school class’s roll be at full capacity, you will not be able to book that class.

TUTORS

Our tutors are well qualified to meet your child’s needs. While Auckland Normal Intermediate employs the tutors they are not necessarily teachers at ANI. Many come from other occupations and are experts in their field. As professionals they take their role seriously and work hard to ensure programmes are taught to a high standard. All tutors have a police clearance. Please feel free to make contact with them after class or by email. We request that parents do not wait in classrooms during lessons as this can disrupt learning and make some children nervous.

GROUP TUITION

Lessons are taught in groups which, not only lowers the cost of tuition but also provides a supportive framework for students as they learn together. The size of the class will vary between 6 and 10 students for a music class or between 8 and 15 students depending on the type of arts class.

PARENTS ROLE

It is vital that parents work in partnership with the tutor. Encouragement at home to do follow up or practise activities is necessary. Attendance at lessons is also important, so please ensure your children turn up on time and with the correct equipment. Students must also be collected no later than five minutes after the class finishes. There is no before class or after class supervision provided.

STATIONERY AND INSTRUMENT HIRE

Your tutor will advise you if any text books or music manuals are required for your class. These along with instruments can be purchased/hired from a local music store.

TRANSFERS

Make sure you carefully pick which after school class you would like to take. We will not be able to complete any transfers or changes of classes after the second week of each term. If you wish to transfer before this time, you will incur an administration fee of $10.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

If you require additional information about a particular class, please call the ANI office on 09 630 1109. Our reception staff and/or the tutor are here to assist in any way they can.

FEES
