40 Years of Helen O’Grady!


   
      Helen O"Grady 40 Year Reunion in Australia - WOW!

The Helen O'Grady Drama Academy was originally founded in 1979 in Australia, when Helen O'Grady, a trained teacher, TV presenter and actress, hired a hall and commenced affordable after school drama classes for young people from 5-18 years of age.











Her aims provide a self-development drama programme encouraging:
  •     Enthusiasm, energy and a positive approach to life
  •     Ongoing confidence
  •      Self esteem
  •      Skill in verbal communication
  •      Effective social interaction
  •       Performance skills
40 years later her legacy continues, and the Helen O'Grady Drama System has now become the largest worldwide drama school of its kind with branches in 40 countries.

In 1996, the first franchise was started in South Africa, 23 years later there are 12 centres and 6,000 students attending lessons each week. Right here in Pretoria, Principal, Juliet Jordaan has been running the academy for 10 years, and going from strength to strength.


     If young people are having fun when they are learning, the chances are that the skills taught will remain with them forever. Never has it been as important as it is now to set children up for life and prepare them with the life-skills so needed today and in the future.”   - Juliet Jordaan (Principal, Helen O’Grady Drama Academy Midrand & Pretoria)
