In other words, when participating in any of our activities, children will be grouped primarily according to their age. For instance, the oldest children in the group will be paired with other children within the same group who are a similar age.

For example, in any same class, camp, workshop or any other activity, there will be children aged 9-11 years old and children aged 12-14 years old. Children are organised next to each other according to their age. We apply the same approach to all age brackets. Do not place any bookings if you do not agree with the way we organise children’s groups.
