10 – 12 year old girls, or tweens as I like to call them, are just starting to go through some dramatic changes in their body and mind. It’s the perfect time to start discussing positive body image, self-worth, personal presentation, communicating effectively and the importance of being happy just as they are. The Tweens Course is the first of it’s kind offering a modern, holistic approach which combines deportment subjects, wellness and self-discovery in a concise, fun way.

Frequently Asked Questions:
FAQs - click to open
1. What if my daughter is a bit younger than 10 or older than 12?
The suitable ages are a guide only. If you feel that your daughter would benefit from this course then by all means, book her in. Please note that we highly discourage girls any younger than 9 1/2 enrolling because we’ve really noticed the difference in behaviour between a 9 year old and a 12 year old. While we love having all girls in the class, we’ve found that 9 year olds and younger really need a lot of play-based activities. The Tweens Course is very hands-on but there is also a lot of discussion-based activities that the 10-12 year old girls absolutely love. If your daughter is younger than 10 and you really want her to do this course, please consider this before booking her in. It might be more beneficial for your daughter to wait until she does turn 10.
2. Is lunch provided?
Afternoon tea is provided each day but the girls will need to bring their own lunch along. We have a fridge and a lovely balcony where we’ll sit to each lunch both days.
3. What if we don’t live on the Sunshine Coast? Is accommodation provided?
The course is not a residential retreat so accommodation is not provided. We have had a number of students come up from other states and they have made a family holiday out of it. As this is becoming quite a common occurrence, we have a document with a range of local accommodation that is convenient for the venue. Please get in touch after you have booked in and we’ll send this through to you.
4. Is there public transport nearby?
Yes. There is a bus stop directly out the front of the April venue – Peregian Beach Community House. Please click on this link to see the venue on Google Maps and click on this link to see the public transport options.
5. I’m paying just the deposit today. How do I pay off the remainder?
Once we’ve received your deposit payment and booking form, we’ll get in touch with an invoice including our bank details so that you can pay off the remainder in instalments at your leisure. The full amount must be received BEFORE the course commences.
6. We live somewhere else and would like the course to be run in our hometown. Is this possible?
We have arranged workshops in other towns or cities but require assistance in the local community. If you believe the girls in your area could benefit from this course (or a modified version of it) and are happy to assist with organising it, please get in touch by phone or email here.
7. I’m not sure if my daughter wants to do this. Should I still book her in?
Most students turn up to our workshops or courses a little unsure of what to expect and nervous to be in a room full of strangers. We quickly get to know one another and, to this date, we’ve always received 100% positive feedback from the girls after the course. Simply turning up is a great exercise in feeling a bit of fear or nervousness and moving through it anyway to find a fun couple of days ahead. In saying that, there’s no point a student coming along who absolutely loathes the idea of being there so we leave it to your discretion as to whether you think you should book your daughter/young person in. Please feel free to get in touch with us to discuss further if you wish.
