Dynamically Verbal

If you do a search to see the meaning or definition of Verbal Dynamics you will often stumble upon the phrase: “The Words Come Alive!”

And how true! At least in the case of our Upper Primary Group’s Parent Day Verbal Dynamics

Every year teachers are excited to guide their students on this journey of verbal adventure.

While learning and rehearsing the verbal dynamics presentation students learn more about pace, volume, delivery details and other speech performance practices.




Pace plays a role in how speech is received and understood. You can change the meaning of a line or sentence simply by playing around with the speech. It’s so important to get the pace just right!

Volume control is another important aspect of any verbal showcase. Knowing when to drop into a stage whisper and combining it with projected exclamations gives the piece colour, shades and nuances.

Other practices include pronunciation, gestures and pitch. Every week the class will practise these and others as we bring together the features of a fun, interesting and lively verbal dynamics piece.

We hope you’ll be there to see the final product.

Speak to your teacher and keep your eyes on this page for your Parent Day dates.

TWO Cheers for TERM II



Term two got off to an incredible start. 

It’s an exciting time for students, teachers and parents as we gear up for our annual Parent Days.

Returning students were excited to share stories of their Easter breaks and new students were happy to get stuck into the dramatic world of Helen O’ Grady. Old and new students alike were over the moon to learn about new curriculum features for the term. And teachers? We’re just so thrilled to be part of each student’s development journey.



Our Kindy groups will this term get to explore space and be part of a circus troupe.
Lower Primary students get the opportunity to create their own plays using Helen O’ Grady scene starters. Our Upper Primary stars will try their hands at script work while the Youth get to explore and enjoy all sorts of theatre development activities.

We can’t wait to get into full swing and we can’t wait to show our parents. 
Be sure to read our start of term newsletter and keep your eyes glued to this page and our Facebook page to be sure you don’t miss out.
