A valuable part of her personal development and education

During the seven years our daughter has been attending the Helen O’Grady drama classes we have seen her verbal communication skills develop and go from strength to strength. The classes have been a valuable part of her personal development and education. It is always wonderful when your children succeed and to watch our daughter speak confidently in front of an audience has us feeling proud and very pleased for her. It has been a huge commitment but the enjoyment and invaluable skills she has gained has made that commitment well worth it.

She would never have had this ambition if it wasn't for Helen O’Grady's Drama Academy

Our daughter Laura was introduced to Helen O’Grady Drama Academy through a friend when invited to “Take a Friend to Drama” night. She enjoyed it so much that she has been attending for 3 years. It has given her confidence I speaking skills and Drama rolls which she may not have developed at a young age, otherwise. It is great to have these skills prior to High School years as it has enable her to confidently enter Speech Competitions and Drama rolls. It has also given her confidence to address an audience when a “thank you:” or introduction has been required. She is looking forward to joining the Drama group at high school and possible taking it as a subject. She would never have had this ambition if it hadn’t been for her grounding she received by attending the Helen O’Grady Drama Academy.

Has developed into a confident boy, able to communicate amongst both his peers and adults alike

Since Thomas has attended Helen O’Grady Drama Academy he has developed into a confident boy, able to communicate amongst both his peers and adults alike.

School speeches on ‘the topic of your choice’ have been a breeze for him where many children have struggled with the confidence required to present a talk clearly and confidently in front of their peers.

Thomas was required to present evidence in a Court of Law and was commended by the Judge and Lawyers on the clear and confident manner in which he communicated.

We have been thrilled with the high calibre of teachers and their dedicated involvement with the programme.

I feel very proud to introduce my son amongst any group of adults as he shakes hands, makes eye contact and confidently presents himself.

Helen O’Grady Drama Academy has provided Thomas with a stimulating environment where the boys and girls alike can learn to communicate clearly and effectively amongst each other and in the presence of Adults.

Wonderful encouraging teachers

My eleven year old daughter has been attending the Academy for the past 3 years. Over this time I have seen her confidence develop. She never hesitates to speak in front of others and is always willing to participate. During her time with the Academy she has always had wonderful encouraging teachers and looks forward to going each week. Drama classes are certainly a great experience for those who attend.
