These sessions are created and co-led by industry experts, including our arts facilitator, Pippa, and our music facilitator, Patricia, who are dedicated to your creative learning journey and the development of your creative expression.

This is not a 'drop-and-leave' session, children must be accompanied by an adult at all times, so mums, dads, grandparents and carers are all welcome!
