COVID-19 Health & Safety Plan (Updated 15 Feb 2022)

ASP WILL BE UPDATING THIS PAGE AS NEEDED

ASP falls under the Business COVID-19 Health & Safety guidelines where for context matters only, our members are therefore "customers". There are exceptions however for our studio residents and the Otago University Diploma class.

rED LIGHT

At the red traffic light, classes and workshops are able to go ahead which means we are not offering refunds or re-books. An alternative option is to find someone else to take your place in the class or workshop. 

If a workshop is unable to go ahead on the planned date due to the tutor being Covid positive, we will reschedule these events to a later date. Refunds will only be possible if no suitable alternative date can be found.
