CLUB CLASSES ARE NOT OPERATING IN RED LEVEL
Join our Speech and Drama CLUB Classes -
Ten Feet Tall's Speech and Drama CLUB classes are a great option for students who want to join a safe, encouraging Speech and Drama based programme with a group performance focus.
Speech and Drama CLUB is about building foundational skills in an environment that fosters growth. After building rapport with the class our teachers take time to evaluate the skills of our students and make a plan to develop their speaking and performing skills. Our plan is not generic - we plan weekly based on the interests and skills of the students.
Each class starts with skills to foster:
- creativity and imagination
- quick thinking
- group cohesion
- vocal clarity and clear speech
We then introduce speaking and performing skills through theme based inquiry. Students at the end of each term will have one-two pieces to present in an 'open class'.
Drama Club runs for 40 minutes for Year 1-3 students and 60 minutes for Year 4-10 students.
