TUT Movie called "HIDE" uses 4 of our wonderful Helen O Grady Actors!










Principal of Helen O Grady Drama Academy Pretoria,Juliet Jordaan, was approached by students of TUT...they needed 4 talented young actors to take part in a short film they were making - we were happy to help! The Children really enjoyed the experience of being on a real movie set and the producer and directors said our actors were "naturals.." Well Done to all concerned...especially to the mums and dads who had to give up their precious Saturday to chaperone their children!

Drama for Grades 1 - 3 at Beaulieu Prep on Tuesdays!







The students of Beaulieu Prep and surrounding schools were so excited for today's lesson - why? Because it was Dress Up Day! For those students who couldn't bring props, teacher Juliet brought a whole box of different outfits and props!

Beaulieu Preparatory Students had Dress Up Day today!














The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy is in its third year of operation at Beaulieu Prep School and the drama classes after school are highly popular. The children have a fantastic creative time with their expert teacher Juliet, who is also the principal of the Academy.  Research has shown that children who engage in extra mural school activities are more likely to have better focus at school and much improved academic success. Schools which have an extensive after school programme have found that their children become better motivated!
