STUDENTS

It is important that you make a conscious and dedicated commitment to your classes. Each week please come to your class prepared and eager to learn. Class time is your chance to leave the outside world behind you and focus on yourself and your passion.

Show up to your class dressed in uniform, ready to learn from your teachers and work as hard and as consistently as you can. Use each class as an opportunity to grow and become better at what you love to do.

Students please ensure you are a role model for our younger students. Please be mindful of your language, tone and behaviour. Mobile phones are to be switched to silent and are not to be used during class time. Please show respect and care for our studio and our equipment. The Dance Centre offers many performance opportunities, excursions, master classes and dance examinations throughout the year. No event is compulsory, students and parents can decide whether they would like to participate or not. Please confirm with your teacher upon your decision.

Please Respect your teachers. Listen to feedback, guidance, focus during your stretch time and make a mind body connection when working on strengthening your technique. Listen to your teachers instructions and corrections given, whether it’s directed at you or another dancer. A correction shows you how much a teacher cares about you and your progress as a dancer and helps you grow, evolve, learn and improve.

All students are to be punctual to every class. If a student is late and misses the warm up, they will not be allowed to participate in the class. Warming up is the most important component of class to avoid the risk of injury.

PARENTS

Our studio prides itself on being a dance family and having a positive atmosphere and inclusive environment. 

Cooperation and kindness between all parents, guardians is expected. As adults, we lead by example for our children. Showing respect—for other parents, the students, and the team—makes an important impression on the children watching us. You are a role model for your child about how to interact with others in a professional environment.

CLASS PLACEMENT

The Dance Centre team meet regularly to discuss the students’ progress and/or placement. It is our policy to offer appropriate opportunities to every child.

Placement decisions are derived from many years of teaching experience. Often a child is placed in a particular group or class because of their ability and not always their age. A child can also be placed in a class where he or she will feel confident, in order to promote the development of self-esteem. 

Any dance class or performance can involve risk or personal injury. You acknowledge that while we take all reasonable care in the conduct of our classes and performances, we accept no responsibility for injury during class time or performances. Every student should be physically and medically fit for the class they are attending. Please advise the teacher of any medical conditions or physical injuries your child may have. 

COMMUNICATION

Communication between parents and staff is very important at The Dance Centre. We like to keep you informed with your child’s progress as well as what is happening at the school. 

Please direct any enquiries relating to your individual child to the_dance_centre@hotmail.com

Important news, notices and term fee invoices will be sent via email. Please ensure you provide us with a current email address. 

To support our communication to you please also join our closed The Dance Centre Parents group on Facebook and 'Like' The Dance Centre public page. You can also follow us on Instagram @thedancecentre_avondale

We encourage students to have respect for other students, the teachers and staff, and studio property, and we foster the development of good habits and compliance with rules of conduct.

Our staff and faculty are trained to use constructive techniques of discipline to maintain class control and handle individual misbehaviour.

• Children who exhibit unacceptable behaviour or attitudes are told what is wrong and directed to a positive alternative approach or behaviour.
• If a child strikes another child, the two are respectfully separated and each is asked to explain what happened. They are then asked to help solve the problem, talk to each other, and reconcile with one another.
• Children who are disruptive will be respectfully asked to stop the behaviour. If the behaviour is repeated, they will be reminded of it and told how it affects others. If the disruption continues, the children involved will be asked to sit down for a short period of time (usually three to five minutes) before re-joining the class.
• If a child’s misbehaviour continues to disrupt the class, the parent or guardian will be asked to collect the child.

All staff and volunteers, as well as children and their families, are given the opportunity to contribute to the development of the code of conduct.

Staff and volunteers must not:

• develop any ‘special’ relationships with children that could be seen as favouritism (for example, the offering of gifts or special treatment for specific children)

• exhibit behaviours with children which may be construed as unnecessarily physical (for example inappropriate sitting on laps. Sitting on laps could be appropriate sometime, for example while reading a storybook to a small child in an open plan area)

Training and supervision

Training and education is important to ensure that everyone in our organisation understands that child safety is everyone’s responsibility. 

Our organisational culture aims for all staff and volunteers (in addition to parents/carers and children) to feel confident and comfortable in discussing any allegations of child abuse or child safety concerns. We train our staff and volunteers to identify, assess, and minimise risks of child abuse and to detect potential signs of child abuse. 

We also support our staff and volunteers through ongoing supervision to: develop their skills to protect children from abuse; and promote the cultural safety of Aboriginal children, the cultural safety of children from linguistically and/or diverse backgrounds, and the safety of children with a disability. 

New employees and volunteers will be supervised regularly to ensure they understand our organisation’s commitment to child safety and that everyone has a role to play in protecting children from abuse, as well as checking that their behaviour towards children is safe and appropriate. Any inappropriate behaviour will be reported through appropriate channels, including the Department of Health and Human Services and Victoria Police, depending on the severity and urgency of the matter.

Training and development plans will be put in place each year that identify team and individual training needs. These plans will identify key areas for development and upskilling and will ensure that we remain up to date with current best practice. 

Recruitment

We take all reasonable steps to employ skilled people to work with children. We develop selection criteria and advertisements which clearly demonstrate our commitment to child safety and an awareness of our social and legislative responsibilities. Our organisation understands that when recruiting staff and volunteers we have ethical as well as legislative obligations.

We actively encourage applications from Aboriginal peoples, people from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds and people with a disability. 

All people engaged in child-related work, including volunteers, are required to hold a Working with Children Check and to provide evidence of this Check. 

We carry out reference checks and police record checks to ensure that we are recruiting the right people.

Allegations, concerns and complaints

Our organisation takes all allegations seriously and has practices in place to investigate thoroughly and quickly. Our staff and volunteers are trained to deal appropriately with allegations. 

We work to ensure all children, families, staff and volunteers know what to do and who to tell if they observe abuse or are a victim, and if they notice inappropriate behaviour. 

We all have a responsibility to report an allegation of abuse if we have a reasonable belief that an incident took place.

If an adult has a reasonable belief that an incident has occurred then they must report the incident. Factors contributing to reasonable belief may be:

• a child states they or someone they know has been abused (noting that sometimes the child may in fact be referring to themselves)
• behaviour consistent with that of an abuse victim is observed
• someone else has raised a suspicion of abuse but is unwilling to report it
• observing suspicious behaviour. 

Our Child Safety Officer (the Principal) will be the first port of call for all incidents and will guide staff through all procedural requirements

We have legal and moral obligations to contact authorities when we are worried about a child’s safety, which we follow rigorously.

We will ensure that we remain up to date with all obligations via our association and memberships with peak bodies such as Dance Arts Alliance, Ausdance, ADV, YPAD and Keep Kids Safe in Dance.

Privacy

All personal information considered or recorded will respect the privacy of the individuals involved, whether they be staff, volunteers, parents or children, unless there is a risk to someone’s safety. We have safeguards and practices in place to ensure any personal information is protected. Everyone is entitled to know how this information is recorded, what will be done with it, and who will have access to it. 

We are committed to remaining up to date with current best practice and implementing within our studio. You can find our Full Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy at our Front Desk

Regular review

This policy will be reviewed regularly and following significant incidents if they occur. We will ensure that families and children have the opportunity to contribute.
