WHODUNIT?! Play in a Day
Year 4 – 6
You have the clues. You’ve compiled the evidence. But one question remains… Whodunit?! There’s no time to waste in solving the mystery of the crime. But… What was the crime? And where did it happen? Who was there?
With so much to figure out, it’s imperative the right team of people solve the mystery. Get your alibi ready for the story and play you’ll be creating in Just. One. Day.
Come dressed as a character you’d like to include in the play or help us make props and costumes during the workshop.
Parents, your child will be engaged in drama and performance through mime, improvisation, character creation, play building and scene sharing. Their creative young minds will be inspired to think outside the box, come up with a unique story and perform it for an audience. Our new “Play in a Day” workshops are aimed at getting kids thinking quickly, working as a team and creating a performance in a short space of time.
Friday 12 October 9am – 3:30pm; Performance 3:15pm

DINOSAUR DIG! Play in a Day
Prep – Year 3
Don’t leave it to the professionals, it’s time to get digging for dinosaur bones! If you’re like us, you’ve got a favourite dinosaur and you might even know where it used to live. These holidays we’re going digging for stories of dinosaurs near and far, and might even meet some imaginary ones on the way!
Join us for a storytelling adventure as we imagine what it’d be like to share our treasured planet with such incredible creatures. You’ll come up with a unique story and build it into a play to perform to parents at the end of the day!
Come dressed as your favourite dinosaur, archaeologist or scientist, or help us make props and costumes during the workshop.
Parents, your child will be engaged in drama activities including mime, improvisation, character creation, play building and scene sharing. These activities inspire young minds to think outside the box, stand on their own two feet and communicate clearly to an audience. Our “Play in a Day” workshops are designed to get kids thinking quickly and create their own performance in a short space of time. It’s the perfect place for an enthusiastic, rising star, but it’s also a welcome atmosphere for newbies who are keen to build their self-confidence.

ADVANCED DEBATING
Year 7 – 10
Senior students develop fundamental skills for high-school level debating in this two-day Advanced Debating workshop. It aims to familiarise students with the rules and requirements of various high school debating competitions and equip them with strategies for preparing a case and drawing on credible sources, including news and current affairs, with limited planning time. A focus is on honing skills in rebuttal and impromptu speaking.
Students are given individual and group feedback on matter, method and manner. Students also receive resources on persuasive speaking, techniques for rebuttal, and accessing news and current affairs.
This workshop is ideal for students who have previously taken a debating workshop or have experience in debating, who are ready to extend their skills in case preparation, delivery, and rebuttal. It furthers the speaking skills introduced to students in weekly Voice and Acting™ classes.

Debating Essentials
We welcome students in Years 4 – 6 to join us for this two-day workshop covering the essentials of Debating.
If your child has expressed an interest in Debating but doesn’t quite know what to expect, or they’ve joined the Debating team without too much of a chance to hone their skills, this is the place for them. This two-day workshop will familiarise students with the rules and requirements of debating, and equip them with strategies for preparing a case, finding sources, and writing an effective speech. A focus is on speaking skills and working with the whole debating team. Students will be divided into teams and work on a case together before launching into a debate on both days.
Students are given individual and group feedback on matter, method and manner. Students also receive resources on persuasive speaking, techniques for rebuttal, and accessing news and current affairs.
This workshop is ideal for students who have expressed interest in debating and may have some knowledge of debating. It can also serve as an effective introduction to novices. The workshop furthers the speaking skills introduced to students in weekly Voice and Acting™ classes.
