Starting Out for Ages 5 – 8

During the second half of the year, our young performers will take their skills to the next level as they leap from the stage to the screen! Term 3 is all about the spotlight as students dive headfirst into creating, refining, and polishing their original material for the highly anticipated Annual Showcase at the end of the term. In a collaborative and supportive environment, they will bring characters to life and experience the thrill of performing for a live audience.

Once the curtain falls, Term 4 shifts gears to focus on the exciting world of screen acting. Students will explore the unique skills needed for the camera, from understanding frames and playing with close-ups to mastering the subtle art of on-camera storytelling. Through high-energy games and hands-on activities, Semester 2 continues to nurture confidence, teamwork, and self-expression, giving students the perfect space to shine both on stage and on screen!

Ready to join the fun? Term 3 kicks off in late July and runs until mid-September, with the Annual Showcase taking place on Saturday, 19 September. Then, Term 4 starts in mid-October and wraps up in early December, closing with an Open Studio session showcasing their screen skills to family and friends.
