Empowering confident communicators, creators and future leaders
As year 5 and 6 students take on increased leadership and independence in preparation for the transition to high school, our incursions support them to develop the tools to express their ideas clearly, creatively and confidently.
Through highly interactive, discussion-rich and drama-based sessions that inspire creative thinking and ideation, students strengthen key English outcomes. We focus on creative writing and storytelling as important skills for life beyond the classroom, and how they can be used as powerful tools for self-expression, connection, wellbeing, and future success.
All workshops are curriculum-aligned and include classroom-ready follow-up activities enabling teachers to extend learning, reinforce key concepts and continue supporting students’ writing development and storytelling beyond the incursion.
