A drama and theatre school for children in Takapuna, with weekly classes also in Brown's Bay and Devonport. It takes children from about 5 up to 16, and the work is built around creative play, self-confidence and getting children comfortable speaking and performing in front of others.
The classes run weekly through the school term, and there are five-day holiday workshops that end in a performance. The school also puts on shows, and parents describe the performances as well-written, with every child given a real moment to shine in a role that suits them.
The term four enrolment is open at the time of writing, and the website says places usually fill very early, so families who want a place should get in touch quickly. The 2026 term four runs from 12 October to 14 December.
Parents describe children who have grown in confidence and voice, improved their speaking, and looked forward to class each week. Several mention the teacher, Rachel, who has taught drama at the school for ten years and who knows each student well.
The school is at 2 The Terrace, Takapuna, on the North Shore. Our pick on the North Shore for a child who is shy about speaking up.
