Please note:

• Location and arrival: Our classes take place in the SECCA Project Space, which you can access through the main SECCA entrance. We’re happy to welcome students into the space from 10 minutes before class.

• Food and drink: Children are welcome to bring a water bottle into the Project Space. If needed, food may be consumed in the SECCA foyer at the seating area outside the SECCA Project Space (note there won’t be a scheduled snack break during the class). Please ensure any food or drinks brought do not contain common allergens. No food or drink is permitted in the gallery.

• Clothing: SECCA provides art smocks for children to wear during the class.

• Parent/guardian presence: Parents and guardians are welcome to pop into the SECCA Project Space at the start to help their child settle in, if needed. You’re also welcome to wait in the gallery foyer for the duration of the class – seating and viewing windows are available – however you are not required to stay. If your child does require extra support, you may remain in the education space, but please discuss this with SECCA at the time of enrolment.

• Participation and expectations: To help create a fun and safe experience for all, children are expected to be able to join in the activities, follow instructions, and stay engaged throughout the session. If your child needs particular support to help with concentration or participation, please let us know at the time of enrolment so we can assist wherever possible.

• Photography: From time to time, we may take photos for SECCA promotional purposes. Parents/guardians and children will have the opportunity to opt out of photography during sign‑in at the start of the class.

• Collection of work made: In instances where artworks are not available to take away immediately after the class, SECCA staff will notify families when artworks are ready to collect. Please note that we have limited storage and require work to be collected within a month of sending notification.
