Children are guided and instructed to achieve the best result for themselves, learning techniques, colour mixing, composition, brush care, social skills, responsibility plus loads more. This allows the student to be free and creative, also to enjoy what they are painting, whilst developing decision making skills, and building self-belief and esteem, this enables them to gain personal growth. A basic materials list is required, children work with acrylic paints on canvas. My teaching style has aided me many students of all ages, (from 5 yo to adult) many to win awards, further arts study and/or to become selling artists.

Have you "graduated" from mums & bubs yoga but would like to continue your yoga practice with your little crawler in tow? Are you a second-time mum who is struggling to find a yoga class you can take both your children to? Or perhaps you just never get to carve out the time at home to get on your mat because the little one(s) demand all your attention? Then Flow & Grow Family Yoga Playgroup is for YOU! While the focus of the class is gentle movement for the adults, little ones can play or join in the fun. There’s no pressure for anyone to be quiet - laughter, tears and snack breaks are expected and welcome. We're all in the same boat, and each week will be a little bit different, meeting you and your child/children where you're at. What to expect: Doors will open at 10am each week to allow your little one(s) to settle into the space. The session officially starts at 10.15am and includes: - Welcome songs to help everyone feel at ease and get our bodies moving. - Yogasana-based movement (postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises) for grown-ups to move and stretch - and possibly even relax a little! - Opportunities for children to join in the movement if they feel like it. - A story and goodbye song to close the formal part of the session, followed by herbal tea and a chat with the other parents. You don't need any prior yoga experience and you can bring more than one child. All parenting journeys are welcome! BYO yoga mat if possible. Places are limited so book your spot today Dates and Times: - Wednesdays, 22 July to 9 Sep 2026 (8 weeks) - 10am for 10.15am start; finish by 11.30am.

Come and share the love of music with your child with a one-on-one session. I sing and play guitar and there's moving to music and fun. It's tailored to the age and needs of your child and it's paced so that you and your child get the maximum benefit. It's excellent for children who may be overwhelmed in a group setting, but also gets them ready for when they want or need to be in a group setting later on. There's puppets and props and singing and dancing and it's top fun!

Our after school drama lessons for junior students (Kindy to Year 2) participate in a themed lesson performed for each other each week. Our senior students (Year 3 +) develop performance skills in the first half of the year through improvisation drama games and scene work. In the second half of the year they collaborate with their teacher on a group devised piece to be performed at a real theatre. For many of our students this is the highlight of their year as they shine on stage in front of a live audience. Working together in drama means listening to each other and accepting and extending each others ideas thus helping children develop good social skills and confidence in presenting their own ideas. Developing confidence, creativity and communication skills are very important life skills whatever path in life they choose to take.
