The Wellington Helen O’Grady Drama Academy has been operating throughout the Wellington region since 1996. Between 300 and 400 students are on the roll at any one time. Studios are located throughout the region including Karori and Khandallah in the city and the Hutt Valley. Children from a large variety of backgrounds and nationalities attend classes in school, church and community halls. The Manager, assisted by a small staff of qualified and dedicated teachers, ensures each student has the opportunity to develop the confidence, creativity and verbal communication skills for which the Helen O'Grady Drama programme is nationally and internationally renowned.
