Creative Communication & Drama Play (3-6 years old)

Confidence is a prerequisite for children to pursue their dreams, believe in themselves and pave their own unique path. Using Ocean Park’s unique learning environment of animal and entertainment role models, this course gives children the opportunity to develop an enthusiastic and energetic approach to life, confidence and self-esteem and increase skills in effective communication. Children, throughout the course, will work together to create a short performance with a focus on our animal world and take up roles to showcase to their parents. This 10-week course will be conducted in English (bilingual support when needed) by trained professionals using the Australian founded curriculum of Helen O'Grady<Learn more>
