Speech for Performance

This program focuses on developing a wide knowledge and appreciation for prose, poetry, effective communication and drama. Each child will aim to develop a greater understanding and increasing degree of confidence when performing or speaking in public. Emphasis is placed on vocal production through activities involving breathing, articulation and projection. Lessons will include a range of strategies involving vocal exercises, theatrical games and performance activities which culminate in voluntary examinations at the end of the school year. Students are also encouraged to participate in eisteddfods.

Speech Therapy Services

This program focuses on children who have communication difficulties. Each participant will be assessed, diagnosed and treated to improve their speaking skills. We provide therapy for the following communication disorders:

• Voice – difficulty with the quality, volume or pitch.
• Speech – difficulty with the production of sounds required for normal speech which results in the child not being understood.
• Language – difficulty understanding and using words, sentences, stories or written messages.
• Reading and Spelling – difficulty with phonemic awareness and reading comprehension.
• Accent Modification – when a child’s accent, speech rate or intonation affect speech intelligibility.

Vocal Improvement & Effective Communication Skills

This program is designed to develop a student’s ability to make effective presentations for oral assessment. Increasingly, the school curriculum requires students to present oral assessments in class. The aim of this course is to enable each student to develop the necessary skills to deliver confident, effective and high impact presentations. The course will encourage the planning, organisation and delivery of effective oral presentations that meet the requirements of the Board of Studies syllabus. The program demands maximum participation from individual students and provides the opportunity to practice presentations, receive feedback and ultimately to present with confidence.

Theatre Course

This course provides students with the opportunity to interact and create fulfilling and dramatic performances in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. The program involves a deeper focus on drama and involves constructing a performance for examination at the end of the school year. Each group will be assessed as a whole by the examiner who will provide a written report classifying each student group as pass, merit or distinction with each student receiving an individual certificate. Students will be encouraged to develop confidence, expression and improve their ability to perform both individually and as an ensemble group.
