19.01.2022 Sadly we have come to the decision to cancel the remaining classes this term, due to the risk of COVID-19 contagion for students travelling to/from and participating in the classes (even hands-free). Check the website later for further updates as to when classes may resume. At this stage it seems unlikely that Term 2 will proceed. We will miss you. Please keep well, and well stay in touch. .
