• Siblings may attend if necessary but will never be included in the class activities or given instruments/crayons. It is the parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to take the sibling out if they are crying or causing a distraction.
• ISM programmes are aurally based and it is important that the students are able hear and concentrate at all times. Please do not take offence if your teacher asks you to take a sibling out of the class – they are prioritising the learning of the students in the class.
