Physical and Educational theatre form part of our dynamic curriculum

Our Youth Theatre classes for ages 13-18 are busy working on an exciting physical and educational theatre piece that they will be performing at our end of year show! This particular piece was written by our Cape Town principal and it deals with all forms of discrimination - not only found in South Africa but worldwide!

The students are loving the freedom of coming up with their own ideas and although we have only just started we have seen some amazing things from our awesome youth theatre groups!

Faerie Glen Parent Presentation

Last Monday we had a very enjoyable afternoon as we were entertained by the students from our Faerie Glen Studio

Parent Presentations

Wow! We have had a very exciting past 2 weeks!
Larisa Lauren and I have had the privilege of watching 15 parent presentations!

The students thoroughly enjoyed having a platform in which to demonstrate what they have been doing in class...from Storybook Adventure to Bats in a Cave to a very energetic Cities and of course who could forget William Tell?

Thank you to our wonderful parents and friends who came to give encouragement and support!

Over the next week watch this space - we will be posting pictures from our different studios!

Drama is finished for the term - enjoy the holidays and we look forward to seeing everyone back in July!
