Age limits in group lessons are strictly monitored to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all children in the lesson. Our age brackets are designed to enhance the alpine lesson experience for all participants.
Bunyips goes all the way to Level 8 (the same as Buller Kids), with the supervision ratios and bathroom needs of the children much higher.
Buller Kids has higher ratios of Instructor to child. By ensuring that all children have begun formal schooling, we create an environment suited to learners who are accustomed to higher student to instructor ratios. This structure also acknowledges the needs of the older 13 and 14 year old participants, by ensuring students are similarly confident and ready to progress with greater independence and a higher instructor to student ratio.
