Photography/Filming

I give permission for my child’s photograph to be taken or be included in any filmed media. Photographic and filmed media may be used and reproduced by AK Studios for teaching, promotional or demonstrational purposes on our website or the school Facebook page and/or Instagram feed.

Please contact us immediately if you do not agree to us using any photo’s or videos of your child.

Emergency Medical Treatment

I give permission to any of the schools trained first aiders to make emergency decisions as necessary with regard to treatment or injury received during any activity until such time as an emergency contact can be called. I authorise them to sign any medical documents which may be necessary for the emergency treatment should the emergency contact be uncontactable immediately. Please make us aware if your child has a medical condition or injury or any sort.
