Cancellation policy

Students must contact Sunnybank Studios to cancel a lesson and request a rescheduled appointment within 24 hours of the originally scheduled lesson.

We will endeavour to arrange an alternate lesson time if one is available.

If an alternative lesson is not available or the student does not attend the make-up-lesson the tuition fee for that lesson is forfeited.

Lesson cancellations made on the same day as the lesson will be charged at the full booked lesson rate.

Same day cancellations made without payment result in the loss of future lesson bookings.

If a student cancels two lessons per term without full payment their time slot will be made available to new and current students and they may lose their spot.
