Our School Holiday Program Structure:

Looking for something fun and educational these School Holidays?

Get them off the Ipad and let them do something fun, active and most important an activity to boost their confidence Our Performing Arts Workshops run over two days and incorporate a combination of performing and creative activities for your child to learn new skills, be active, socialise with new friends and build a healthy self-esteem.

Age group:

  • 5 – 12yr olds
  • The children will be put in classes according to their age

Our aim

The workshops focus on self-esteem and confidence building. We encourage the children to be part of the creative process allowing them to feel important and proud of whom they are. The philosophy behind this is that children learn faster and enjoy their classes more when they feel their opinion is valued.

FAQ's

What if I want to cancel my booking?
As we have a limit of the number of children we can accept, once booked in there will be no refund for change of mind or illness within 7 days of the program. If there is less then 7 days notice, and you are unable to attend due to illness, we are more than happy to credit your booking with the presentation of a medical certificate to another workshop at another time.

How many children per class?
The children will be split into 2 groups. Each class will contain approximately 10-15 children per teacher. The children are grouped according to their age and with friends. Sometimes classes can grow to 20 children; in this incidence a second teacher will be present. There is also an additional supervisor who oversees the whole workshop and helps out were necessary.

Can my child be grouped with their friends?
Yes of course, as long as their friends are in the same age group. We want your child to have the best time possible therefore we need to group your child based on their maturity.  Please ensure you list the names of the friends that your child would like to be grouped with.

What if my child does not know anyone?
Do not worry; this is a perfect opportunity for your child to make new friends. The program consists of numerous team building activities, especially on the first morning which encourage the children to mix with others.

Does my child have to attend the whole program?
We strongly encourage your child to attend the whole program. Each day the children are put into groups for various activities and some activities carry on over to the following day. The children also build friendships and may be put out if someone doesn’t attend the whole program. Part attendance will need to be confirmed at the discretion of the office.

How is the day structured?
We begin each day with fun warm up activities, and then like a school day the children are put into groups and off to classes stopping for recess and lunch. The classes over the two days will consist of: Dancing, singing, acting, craft, science and cooking.

What does my child have to bring?

  • Recess and lunch. No allergy foods such as nuts or foods with nut traces.
  • Hat and sunscreen.
  • Clothes suitable for active classes.
  • Closed shoes suitable for running and dancing, e.g. sandshoes. (please no thongs, sandals or dress shoes).

What should my child NOT bring?

  • Food with nuts or nut traces.
  • Valuable toys, such as IPods, Nintendo DS, Gameboys, etc.
  • Mobile phones.

If it is absolutely necessary your child brings a mobile phone or any of the above, please understand Bop Till You Drop is not liable for any loss or damage.

What time is the concert on the second day?
The concert is held on the second day at 3:00pm. We welcome all parents, guardians, grandparents, family and friends to come and witness their proud performance. They will also be awarded a certificate for their efforts.

What do they wear/bring for the concert?
If possible, we would love your child to wear the red Bop T-shirt and black shorts/tights/pants. Please do not go out and buy new clothing for the concert. If you do not have black bottoms, the closest colour to black will do. Some children will bring props also.

Who are the teachers?
Bop till you Drop employs qualified teachers, childcare workers or experienced entertainers. They have all undergone an extensive training program in Occupational, Health and Safety. At least one staff member has a senior first aid certificate. You can also rest assured that all staff have been approved by the ‘Working with Children Check’.

Are you insured?
Yes, we have up to 20 million dollars Public Liability Insurance.

What about safety?
At every workshop the entertainers will run through what to do in case of an emergency, this includes incidences such as fire.

What happens to disruptive children?
Please be aware that bullying, aggressive or non-co-operative behaviour is not acceptable. If we feel the safety and interests of the other children are being jeopardised because of this behaviour you will be asked to collect your child immediately.
