Awards and Certificates

This scholarship was created in the name of our KADS ‘Grandma’ Miss Kim’s mum. She was always a huge part of the studio and before she passed, in a moment of clarity, she spoke the words… ‘I love you with all the colours of the rainbow’ The winners of this scholarship show kindness, loyalty, passion. The recipient is always a student who is loved by their fellow classmates and teachers and receive a perpetual plaque, trophy, percentage off fees and merchandise.
