Improv is a whole lot of fun and the perfect way to kick off the weekend! Students will explore the basic principles of improvisation in a fun, creative and supportive environment. Improv is perfect for exploring creativity, supporting social skills, and building confidence. No previous acting experience required, it is a low-stress introduction to acting while also a great tool for the budding actor or comedian. Over the 8-week term, students will be introduced to the basic tenets of improvisation such as: - Agreement - Creating characters - Building fantastical worlds - Working together with other actors - Storytelling The course runs for 8 weeks every Saturday morning. Friends and family are invited to attend a portion of the final class where the students will share what they have learned. This class is for students who are currently in grades 1 through 6.

Communications skills programs or school students Kindy - year12 Public speaking is a core skill that provides lifelong benefits – whether speaking to a small group of people or to a stadium filled with 50,000. Once gained, learning public speaking makes a person more confident overall. Whatever your grade in school is - get over your fears by continuous practice of these skills. With Creative Writing, we teach students to really dig down dip, to not just take things as they are on the surface but to investigate, which is a lesson that will remain with them throughout the rest of their lives. The real benefit of learning Creative Writing while in school, is the gift of giving students a new way to look at themselves and it teaches organisational skills that go beyond NAPLAN and HSC.
