We hope our four term students are enjoying their holiday!
Here are some ideas to keep busy…

🖥Has it been a screen-free holiday time for your children? Here are some suggestions for creative and expressive play⬇

👗👔Dress-up is always a win. Have a collection of adult clothing available to play dress up. Often, a collection of scarves to use as capes and cloaks, is all that is needed!💃🕺 Encourage stories to be made up to suit the outfits they create.✨

🎬Give a theme and have them create a "movie". Commit to filming their movie for them, after they have spent time developing the plot and rehearsing the acting scenes.💫

🎭Make a bunch of old socks available to be turned into puppets. Use pipe cleaners, buttons, wool and other craft supplies to bring personality to the sock puppets. A puppet show afterwards is a must, of course!🥸

Listen. Explore. Create. Together. 🎭💛

Some of the most important moments in drama happen when children learn to listen to one another, share ideas and create as a team.

Our classes encourage every student to participate, discover their voice and develop confidence in a supportive environment.

Because every voice matters, and every story deserves to be heard.

Young people. Bigger possibilities. 🎭✨

Drama gives older students a space to express themselves, explore new perspectives and build confidence in who they are becoming.

Through improvisation, character work and collaboration, they develop communication, creativity and valuable life skills — while making meaningful connections with their peers.

A safe space to express, explore and be yourself. 💛

Imagine. Learn. Grow. 💛

In our drama classes, imagination becomes a powerful learning tool. Through storytelling, movement and creative activities, children practise communication, problem-solving, teamwork and self-expression.

The best part? They’re having so much fun, they hardly realise how much they’re learning!

Happy Heritage Day, South Africa! 🇿🇦

Different cultures. One beautiful country. Today we celebrate the stories, traditions and voices that make our nation so special.

Our people. Our stories. Our future. ❤️
