Welcome back to 2026

Kia ora 

Welcome to another year with Lakes Performing Arts Centre! We are so looking forward to another exciting year of dance, drama, music, and all things performing arts. We have lots planned on our 2026 calendar and can’t wait to welcome everyone back into the studio very soon.

We have an Open Week scheduled from Monday 2nd February to Thursday 5th February. This is a great opportunity to try new classes, as we have plenty on offer. I have attached our Open Week flyer along with the 2026 schedule for your reference. Our regular term classes will commence on Monday 9th February.

I am currently working my way through a long list of music enquiries. Our tutors have been doing their best to open additional lesson slots where possible to accommodate as many enquiries as we can, however this does take some time to organise. We have only been back in the office since the beginning of last week and have a lot to catch up on, so thank you very much for your patience.

Please also note that invoices have started to be sent out. Not all invoices have gone out yet, but we expect to have the remainder sent early this week. For our music students, if you are not planning on returning to LPAC this year, could you please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your space to someone currently on our waitlist.

We look forward to seeing everyone again very soon.

Ngā mihi,
