Kindy Classes at Sagewood Pre Primary!




The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy's Kindy Programme for 3-5 years is a fantastic way to develop young children's confidence and communication skills at a very early age. This form of pre-school drama training gives children the edge of over their peers as they grow in self-esteem and ability to converse with other children and adults, as well as learning essential English language skills. Due to the popularity of our classes at Sagewood Pre Primary, which are taught by the lovely Larisa, we now have 3 times slots (1 on a Wednesday and 2 on a Friday) All classes are full!

THE SAGEWOOD STARS!






Our students from Sagewood School had a wonderful time as their teacher Chene took them through some exercises to develop their confidence and acting ability. The main part of the lesson revolved around a Mime to Music called The Hunt. The students used their bodies and faces expressively to translate the message of the piece. Our wonderful teacher,Chene always develops so much creativity in all the children.
