Child Safety

The Pointe Dance Centre is very serious about upholding Child Protection laws and policies within the studio as well as at public performances and online (website and social media).

As part of your registration, you will have read and signed a media waiver allowing us to proudly use images and video footage of your student for advertising and promotional purposes. Should you have any concerns whatsoever with signing this declaration, please see our desk staff who will happily assist you or add you family to our "no post" list.

We have CCTV cameras in each classroom which can be checked by parents and family members from the comfort of our reception area at any time. All of our teachers and staff members have undergone official record checks allowing them to work with children. 

Staff at The Pointe Dance Centre are educated in the negative impact of inappropriate music and costume selection when it comes to performing dance routines and are wholeheartedly committed to ensuring children in all of our dance routines are not subjected to any inappropriate songs or costuming. We recognize that songs with sexist, explicit, violent, racist, homophobic or criminal content may influence our dancers and/or audience and will not use such music. We are committed to restricting costumes that project sexuality or contain explicit graphic content. 

Our staff members have all been trained in first aid. We enforce a nut-free policy at the studio to ensure the safety of any students or parents with allergies to nuts or nut products and limit ourselves to nut free foods at studio events.
