Mary Whelan Fox School of  Elocution, Speech & Drama

Share

School of Speech and Drama catering for children from the age of 4 and upwards. Takes place weekly during the school calendar.

Little People, Big Voices, opened in April 2006 due to the ever growing demand from parents wishing their children were involved with a Drama group that did not focus on a end of year production but on voice and elocution. The school provides lively classes in voice work, drama and singing for students between the ages of 4 – 17. “Acting up” was formed in 2009 for senior students who had out grown “Little People, Big Voices”
All classes take place in excellent secure facilities.
