Holiday Programme

Our STAR school holiday programme gives students five days of campus-life experience at Elite and a chance to explore the world of beauty, while gaining extra credits!

Students gain knowledge and skills in beauty therapy and makeup artistry, along with other elements that contribute towards their future study-pathway and career options.

Our objective is to provide a holiday programme that exposes students to alternate pathways, leading towards higher- education and a smoother transition into the workplace. Some students are more aligned to the beauty industry, others may need additional confidence and soft-skills before going out into the world. This programme can help develop various qualities for both.

Star Holiday Programme students get to have fun with our team at Elite and gain extra Level 2 credits.
