Go to your Account / Student (select the student) / and select Future Absences. You will be prompted to select a date for the absence and submit.

Absences submitted at least 1 hour prior to the class starting will be marked as excused, and a Make Up Token will be issued after the class.

Pottery course fees include the use of all tools, materials including clay and glazes, and firing of 6 pieces for a beginner wheel class and 10 pieces for a hand building and wheel classes per term.

Only the objects made at the Centre will be fired in the kiln. Any works brought from outside the Centre will not be accepted.  Only technically sound projects will be fired to avoid potential damage.

Due to limited space within the kiln, students will only be able to fire a maximum of 6 pieces in a beginner wheel class and 10 pieces in hand building and wheel classes no larger than (25/25/25cm) per term.

Work will take approximately 2-3 weeks to fire after the term programs finishes. Students have up to one month to collect their work after being notified that it is ready for collection. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange collection within this timeframe. If work is not collected within this time, it will be disposed of or donated to a local charity to make space for the next term’s courses.

Students must allow sufficient time (at least 10 minutes) before the end of class for packing up, cleaning the tools, putting projects away safely and wiping down the tables. Classes commence and conclude at the times outlined on our website.

Supervision of Minors  

To ensure children’s safety, minors under 12 must be supervised at all times by a parent or guardian while inside the BRC facility. Supervision is only available during scheduled classes, but parents/guardians are responsible for their child’s supervision before and after. Children must not leave the facility without a guardian over 16, and those under 12 cannot leave alone.  

Early Arrival  

If a student arrives early for class, we kindly ask that a parent or guardian supervises them until class begins, especially for those under 12. If a child is to be unsupervised, prior arrangements must be made with management. This policy is in place to keep everyone safe during emergencies, as we may need to evacuate the facility. We appreciate your understanding, as we can’t guarantee supervision for students whose presence we aren’t aware of. 

Late Departure

If you expect to be late picking up your child, please call BRC reception on 9592 3033. Your child will wait on the chairs opposite the front desk, so that a BRC team member can keep an eye on them. If a student is often not picked up within five minutes of class ending, BRC management will reach out to discuss how we can help.  

Bathroom Procedures  

We strongly advise all students to visit the bathroom before their class begins. There are toilets located downstairs next door to the pottery studio as well as upstairs next door to our art room.  If a student needs to visit the bathroom during class time, they will need to go to the bathroom in pairs.
