Terms of Agreement – Preshil Instrumental Music Program
Attendance at Lessons
Arlington Campus (10s and 11s):
Students in the 10s and 11s are encouraged to make their own way to music lessons where possible. Tutors will collect younger students from their classrooms.
Year 7 Students:
Year 7 students will receive support for their first term of lessons as they transition to managing their own schedules. Tutors will collect students who do not arrive on time during this period. Following the first term, students are expected to arrive at lessons independently and on time.
Secondary Students (Years 8–12):
All other secondary students are expected to know their scheduled lesson times (posted on Compass) and arrive promptly.
Students who arrive late or miss their lesson without prior notice will be marked absent, and the lesson will not be rescheduled or refunded.
Lesson Details
You will receive confirmation of your child’s first lesson by phone or email—please allow up to 10 business days for contact from a tutor.
Each term includes eight lessons, billed in advance. If lessons begin part-way through the term, they will be pro-rated accordingly.
For billing inquiries, please contact the Business Manager.
Missed Lessons & Make-Up Policy
Make-up lessons will be offered at the tutor’s discretion when absences occur due to:
School-related activities (excursions, exams, camps)
Tutor illness
Student absence, where sufficient notice is given
Tutors will make all reasonable efforts to reschedule missed lessons, which may include offering a longer session. If a make-up lesson cannot be arranged, a credit will be applied to your account.
Absences and Notifications
If your child will be absent, please notify their Instrumental Music Tutor before 8:30 am on the day of the lesson.
If you are unable to contact the tutor directly, please notify Reception:
Reception staff will pass your message on to the relevant tutor.
Injury or Medical Considerations
If an injury prevents your child from playing their instrument, the tutor may provide theory-based lessons during recovery.
For injuries lasting more than two weeks, or where the recovery time is uncertain, families may choose to pause or cancel lessons with four weeks’ written notice.
Please notify the Music Administrator as soon as possible in such cases.
Enrolment and Withdrawal
Enrolment in the Instrumental Music Program is ongoing and automatically continues year to year.
To withdraw from the program, families must provide four weeks’ written notice to the appropriate campus Music Administrator.
Withdrawals cannot be processed mid-term. Cancellation will take effect from the following term once notice is received.
