PLEASE ensure that if you are paying electronically, you quote your invoice reference when paying and please adhere to the payment terms and date on your invoice to avoid late penalty charges. Don’t forget to sign in with Christie at the desk each week before class even if you have made a Term payment. REMEMBER: Grooming, Attendance & Punctuality… This should go without saying now so please adhere to the uniform, attendance and punctuality rules! For reference, please log onto our website and re-read our Terms and Conditions that address these topics. Inconsistent attendance may lead to losing your position within your class.
