Dates, cost, and workshop descriptions
How to apply and related information

To ensure we are keeping all our students, staff and teachers safe, we have amended some features of the program to align with our COVID-Safe plan.

Some things will change:

drop off and pick will be adapted to allow for social distancing
strict hygiene standards will be in place (hand washing, sanitisation and cleaning procedures) while you're on campus.

We will continue to monitor all advice from Federal and State governments regarding the presence of COVID-19, and we will not run our workshops unless it is safe to do so.

One thing that won't change: our workshops will still bring the same fun and challenging nature, and will allow students to engage with lots of like-minded peers.
