Speech and Drama
Speech and drama is an empowering way for young people to learn effective, clear communication that will serve them throughout their life. Through an exploration of poetry, reading aloud, drama activities, performance and improvisation, children spark their imagination, think creatively and learn to perform with charisma. Classes involve a range of speaking and performing exercises that focus on developing clear speech and confident communication.
You will understand from your own professional and social life that strong communication skills go a looooong way. Just think back to the most recent client meeting, a job interview, or any tough conversation at work. Speech and drama instils those very communication skills from a young age so that children are not afraid of speaking up, speaking out or standing up for what they believe.
