2026 SUMMER SCHOOL
What a great week we had at Summer School in January!
Excellent syllabus classes were given by our examiners which were always interesting and never failed to provide useful insights and suggestions for teachers. A big thankyou to all who took classes so willingly and ably.
The support and friendship between teachers that is now seen at Summer School is evidence of the great efforts that have been made to engage our teachers and ensure that they are not fearful of asking questions of the examiners taking the classes, or of the technical advisors. Your willingness to learn as much as possible at Summer School shows your dedication and striving to achieve the best results possible for your students.
Information for Summer School to be held 16 – 20 January 2027 will be available later this year

2025 DIAMOND STAR GROUP DAY was a wonderful event and a huge success, despite the unanticipated last-minute change of venue. Thanks to all those studios who entered students – the standard of performances was outstanding, and all sections were closely contested. Your students are a credit to you and we hope they all appreciate the quality teaching they are receiving. Well done to everyone.
Thank you to our very small band of helpers and volunteers who keep the day running smoothly – we could not run the event without you.
