Lyttelton Upper Primary Rehearsing for Fancy That


Children who attend drama classes are naturally more inclined to be confident, have high self-esteem and are able to communicate better. The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy runs drama classes for schools throughout the World and has a large following in South Africa. Using an international curriculum, Helen O’ Grady Drama Academy aims to bring out all the is good in each and every person. Here you can see our wonderful children from our Lyttelton Studio in dramatic action!
Our Upper Primary (grades 4-7) are preparing for their play "Fancy That" which they will perform at the Centurion Theatre in November. From the looks of their rehearsal we think this play will be SPECTACULAR!!!

DRAMA MAKES US SMILE


At the Helen O' Grady Drama Academy in Midstream we make learning fun!! Many of our students attend our drama classes to boost their English Speaking Skills! They do so in a relaxed and fun manner under the expert tuition of their teacher Chene!
We believe that involving our students fully  in the lesson and motivating them they will learn so much and never forget what they have learnt! As the famous saying goes:-
 "Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand"
