ACCLAIMED DRAMA PROGRAMME NOW AT ELKANAH BLOUBERG PREPARATORY

The best way to start the weekend is with a good dose of drama.

And that’s exactly what the Elkanah House Blouberg Preparatory students have chosen. This term saw Helen O’ Grady bring drama to the young school.

It’s only been a few weeks and already the impact is a far reaching positive one.

One parent shared with our principal saying “My daughter really loved her first class and came home so excited and full of enthusiasm… I wanted to pass on my thanks to the teacher for instilling such joy and passion for the arts!”

And she isn’t the only one!

All the students are exposed to a drama programme that uses fun, excitement and enjoyment to develop their confidence, communication and creativity.

Every activity instils in our students tools they need not only for the stage but also tools for the classroom and the world. Lower Primary students get to participate in activities that teach them how to interact with others, think on their feet and express themselves in interesting ways.

If you are at Elkanah House (Blouberg or Sunningdale campus) and would like to get in on the ACTion contact our principal, Nastassja on nastassja@helenogrady.co.za

Parents Day Term 2 2016

A Full Family Affair

One of the things we most look forward to during Term II is our Parent Day.

At our Parent Day lesson family and friends are invited to a lesson where students present some of the skills they’ve learnt in class.

It isn’t a polished performance; it is a presentation of curriculum in a performance-like setting.

It’s such a treat! Parents, friends and families have for years shared how much they’ve enjoyed this unique opportunity to be part of the Helen O’ Grady experience.

It is also a time for students to gain performance experience, move past the nerves and embrace their time on stage. They leave with a sense of achievement and knowing they’ve delivered and complete a massive milestone in their on stage and overall development.

Ask your teacher or see you Term II letters for additional information on this year’s Parent Days. Speak to you teacher if you have any questions. Whatever you do, don’t miss this one!

TERM 2 HAS ARRIVED!

And just like that, TERM II is here.

And what a bundle of excitement this term is. For the next 9 to 10 weeks our students will go on a development journey of dramatic proportions. They will be introduced to new activities, re-visit tried and tested techniques and also prepare for our Parent Day at the end of the term.

That’s right, the end of the term brings an opportunity for you as parents, friends and family to visit our class and be treated to a showcase of Helen O’ Grady drama. Keep your eyes on this page as well as our Facebook page and ask your teacher more.

But the bundle of excitement doesn’t stop there. We are excited to share some more good news:

Helen O’ Grady is now at Elkanah House Blouberg Preparatory! Our world renowned curriculum will now be shared and presented as part of an after school programme at the school.

We hope you are all as excited as we are.

But that’s enough talk from our side for now. Let’s get in on the ACTion.

See you in class!
