16/04/2024 - 17/04/2024 @ 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
Looking for something fun and educational these School Holidays?
Get them off the devices and encourage them do something fun, active and most importantly an activity to boost their confidence.
Our Performing Arts Programs run over two days, which is a great way to break up the school holidays. The program focuses on self-esteem and confidence building. We encourage the children to be part of the creative process, allowing them to feel valued and proud of their achievements.
