End of Year Concert – Saturday 23rd November 2024 at Te Raukura ki Kapiti

 

Te Raukura ki Kapiti

We are very grateful to Te Raukura ki Kapiti and Kapiti College that hosts the KMC and nurtures our special community we have in Kapiti, and we look forward to a great year ahead of learning, playing, and performing.  Please respect this building as it is a communal space.  Please, no running around and to be quiet when arriving and leaving.  Thanks.

Please use the Main Entrance at KPAC – not the college one as that might be locked.

Refunds and Invoicing

Invoices will be sent out over the next week and all refunds close the week of the 25th March.

Enrolments

If you are a returning student to KMC it is important that you enroll fresh at the beginning of each year regardless.  Please make a note that it is not an automatic carry over and sometimes, if the tutor gets contacted directly, important information gets excluded from management.  Thank you.
