OUR MIDDLE & UPPER SCHOOL STUDENT PROMISE

As a school, it is important for us to ensure that our older students are actively involved in shaping the school environment they wish to be part of. At ASD, having ‘a voice’ is fundamental to everything we do, empowering each and every student to build self-confidence for the future.

“ I promise to come to all classes with an open mind and ready to learn, to accept corrective criticism, and support my fellow dancers. I will uphold the school’s good standards, wear the correct uniform to all classes, and understand that by wearing it, I am promoting the school and what it stands for, so my behaviour should reflect this. I promise to be active in creating a safe space for all and acknowledge that Aspirations Dance does not accept bullying of any kind. I will uphold our dance family’s values of ‘MY WISH.’ “
