By enrolling in our classes and workshops, students will progressively explore all topics in our program. Each class is designed to build upon the previous one, ensuring a comprehensive understanding over time. This approach allows for in-depth exploration of each topic, enhancing the overall learning experience.

Some of these topics will be covered during one lesson or one workshop, some will be covered and touched on at all classes and workshops. (Depending on your age and experience)

Our class program runs on a monthly class schedule, so there is no time limit for completing the entire course (All Topics). The class schedule is updated each school term, and guest speakers are booked in advance based on their availability. These professionals specialise in areas such as hair, skincare, makeup, exercise and nutrition, posing, and photography. Within the studio, our lessons incorporate modelling, deportment, confidence-building, and posture training each lesson. The program was originally designed as a complete two-year course, offering an in-depth focus on all topics covered throughout the lessons, terms, and the overall year.

Classes and Workshops are separate options. You can join Monthly Classes, 1-Day/Mini Workshops, or both, depending on your preferences. Your location and age group will help determine the best fit for you. For any questions, feel free to email us – admin@brookelee.com.au 

Classes:
Our classes take place once a month for 1–1.5 hours on either Saturday or Sunday, depending on the age group. We explore each topic in-depth while incorporating guest speakers into the program. Classes begin with Tiny Tots and Juniors, progressing through Beginners and beyond. Sessions run during the school term. Classes are held in Mackay or Cannonvale only.

Workshops:
We also offer one-day workshops, held once or twice a year, covering various topics. Availability depends on the interest in each region, and Beginner Workshops may be the only option in some areas. Workshops run from morning to afternoon with lunch included and then we conclude with a mini performance to wrap up the day.
