FEES
WHAT COSTS CAN I EXPECT TO PAY
 Conducting
a gymnastics program is an expensive venture. Training requires low
gymnast to coach ratios and an enormous capital outlay for the Lawnton
Academy coupled with high recurrent cost. As such, fees must reflect
these obligations to ensure the program's continuation. The Lawnton
Academy's fees we believe offer good value for money compared to hourly
rate of many other intensive sports.
Each year parents are required to pay Term Lesson fees,
Annual GQ/GA Registration Fees that include insurance and an Annual LAAG Registration fee.

L.A.A.G. FUNDRAISING
The LAAG maintains a separate fundraising account and conducts
several fundraising activities throughout the year. This fundraising is
targeted for anything outside of the essential requirements of the business and directly relating to the needs of the gymnasts and their  families.
A large portion of the fundraising income will be directed to the
needs of the competitive gymnasts who have a large commitment at the
Academy and are training many hours per week and representing the
Academy at State, National and International Events.
The Fundraising account also supplies ice blocks through the summer
months, medals for all gymnasts at the end of the year and social
events to encourage team work and a family centred environment.
Volunteers are sometimes required to assist us with this integral part of
the Lawnton Academy “Team Work” tradition.
