Tanken Centre HSC Workshops

24/2/2015

Dear teachers,

Thank you very much for your continued support.

April Holiday Workshops

Please kindly note that the Continuers' workshop is full now.

We still have places available for the Beginners’ workshop (9th and 10th April).

Please contact me if you are interested in the Beginners’ workshop.

We have not finalised the dates for the July HSC workshops as yet.

As we have received a large number of Continuers’ workshop applications, we are considering running the Continuers' workshop twice in July, instead of the Beginners' workshop.

Once the dates are finalised, we will inform you through this site. The 1 day Extension workshop will be running as usual.

Booking form

We are very grateful that so many teachers have organised a visit to our centre.

Our dates are almost full in Term 2 and 3 this year. We still have many days available in Term 4. If you are planning to bring your students, please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Thank you to the teachers who have promptly sent us their booking form.

Please kindly note that once we receive your booking form, your visit will be finalised.

We would be very grateful if you could organise your booking form within one week of tentatively booking your date with us.

We appreciate your cooperation.
