"Over the last few days, we have experienced technical difficulties beyond our control, which has caused a number of issues with our emails and contact system. Firstly, I would like to apologise personally for all those who this relates to. This is due to trouble shooting with an outside service provider. We are working with them to apply a fix, however we are aware that we are seeing a lot of traffic at the moment, and we have fallen short of your expectations and we are sorry. Please show patience for our team at this time."

For this reason, Vitality Entertainment will employ experienced school teachers to provide tutoring during these periods.
