Teacher Lift & Lesson Product:  

*UPDATED* Thredbo offers School Group Teachers a lift product, receiving 2 teachers free for every 10 paying students:

Teachers/Supervisors can elect to add-on an adult lesson:  

• Adult lessons: 2hr duration (starting either 9:15am or 11:20am pending student lesson time)  
• Please note this is a separate lesson, at a different time and meeting location to the student lesson  
• Due to different start times between adult and student lessons, teachers/supervisors may need to leave the adult lesson early to resume supervision at the conclusion of the student’s lesson 

Student Ability Levels:   

Thredbo wants your school group to get the most out of their time on snow. In the booking request form Student numbers per discipline are required to allow Thredbo to accurately allocate lesson spots availability based on instructor numbers (endeavouring to be within the 1:10 ratio). The ability level of every student is required to be advised in the Student and Teacher data form (provided in early 2026), at least 2 weeks prior to arrival, so Thredbo can finalise instructor allocation and assign class lists.  

• There may need to be a split-ability levels within the same lesson dependent on the number of students per discipline (opting to ski or snowboard)
