Your staff are absolutely welcome; we find they particularly benefit from participating in the introductory session (25 minutes), which provides a context for the day’s activities. Absolutely. During the conclusion, we ask the girls to reflect on the day and record their thoughts for us. We collate all this feedback and provide your school with a summary. We also include any observations we have made throughout the day that we think may be of interest. As we realise feedback needs to be timely, we usually have this completed by the next working day. After a month or so, we then seek additional feedback from the school; this is when we are able to gauge the response from parents and learn more about the long-term impact of our programs.

To secure your booking, a deposit of $500 + GST is immediately required. Before the event date, an Enlighten manager may need to make a 30-minute “site visit" to run through all your requirements and assess the space. This visit ensures things run smoothly on the day and that we do not need to bother you with last-minute requests or questions. This is a common step for first-time bookings but is not always necessary. Whether a site visit is required will be determined with you over the phone by an Enlighten manager well before the event date. Both are possible, particularly if you are unable to take time out from the traditional curriculum to implement our program. Boarding schools tend to like weekend workshops, but again booking early is advisable as our presenters are industry experts and also have other professional commitments to meet. There is no extra charge for weekend workshops or visiting you at a camp site.
