Term 1 classes filled up in just a few days - and all our students are re-enrolling, so we’ve decided to DOUBLE the intake spaces for Term 2!! 🥳
All the group sizes are small, the activities are wickedly fun, and the educators are the most talented, engaging, creative teachers ever. This gorgeous little video is just a sneak peak of the action you’ll miss if you don’t enrol in MoPA’s Term 2 ART CLASS ❤️
