If you are placed in a Home Group you will be in this class for the bulk of the week but will also be allocated one Afternoon Taster (also based on your rankings), which you will attend on Monday and Wednesday afternoon.

Additional costs:If you have applied for the Technical Stream and are placed in either Beginners or Advanced Tech, there is a $30 fee for a Technical T-shirt that is required.
