A positive and fun programme in a safe and nurturing environment where children can use the creativity of drama and theatre to enhance their life skills and express themselves in extraordinary ways.

These classes are for ages 5-7yrs, 8-10yrs, 11-13yrs and 14-16yrs and based on the North Shore and Glen Innes.

Scholarships are available for families experiencing financial hardship, kindly funded by Stewart Germann administered by Cognition Education Trust.
