Another success story of more confident and articulate children at Square Hill Primary in Retreat, Cape Town, thanks to the Helen O’Grady’s international drama programme at this forward-thinking school.
The Academy’s teachers always bring the best out of each and every child and this fits very well into the school’s holistic education, providing the children with many positive opportunities in which to develop.
The programme at Square Hill, although highly creative and grounded in the theatre-arts, really focuses on developing children with good communication skills. The Academy’s philosophy of developing children into confident articulate speakers, really does give them a head start to their peers in other schools. Many parents are testament to the fact that children attending drama show an increased enthusiasm for their studies at school and through this self-assurance, they also show much improved results.
This particularly filters into the English classes where orals and creative writing become far easier owning to the teaching of spontaneity and imaginative thinking. Children at Square Hill are being taught the same curriculum taught in the UK, USA, Australia and many other countries around the world, and their standards are right up at the top.
The Academy also runs its after school programme at Square Hill Primary which focuses on taking children with an interest in the performance arts to the next level of their personal development. Students from this group perform at the end of the year in a professional theatre to give them an even larger opportunity to showcase their talents.
Well done to this amazing school which really does believe in developing each and every children.
