Speech and Drama
What is Speech and Drama?
Our 'Speech and Drama' programme concentrates on the NZ Speech and Drama syllabus. We focus on prepared and impromptu activities that we engage with individually or in small groups. These activities include, but are not limited to, poetry, prose, devising, public-speaking, speeches, presentations, improvisation, storytelling, and commentary. This 'Speech and Drama' programme is taught by a qualified Drama teacher.
​
We have two programmes available:
Mini Speech and Drama: 7 - 12 years
Senior Speech and Drama: 13 - 17 years
What are the benefits of attending 'Speech and Drama'?
It is a great experience that builds self-confidence, resilience, and effective communication skills. If you have a shy or anxious child who needs support with their communication and/or social skills, our 'Speech and Drama' programme is a great way to boost their confidence using these skills. It is also a great programme designed for excellent speakers and performers to thrive.
Are there performance and examination opportunities?
Yes. We have ensured all of our students have a chance to shine and showcase their work by performing in an end of year showcase. This will be held in Term 4 at the Te Awamutu Little Theatre.
​
'Speech and Drama' Examinations are available for any students who wish to undergo 'Speech and Drama' grading. Enrolments take place midyear. Enquire for more information.
