Primary Focus

Much has been said and written about Early Child Development and the importance of the first years.

As teachers and parents we're often reminded of the great responsibility afforded us to do the best we can to ensure our students and children get the best start in their education journey.

Studies show the first 8 years  life are critical to the child's holistic growth. The emotional, social and physical development of young children has a direct effect on their overall development and on the adult they will become. 

At Helen O' Grady we don't see this a daunting task or great challenge to shy away from. We see this as an opportunity to make a life-changing impact on the young ones who carry our future.

Our primary school programme gives students the start they need for this all-round development. We are thrilled to part of every child's journey!

Here Comes Drama!

While one of our teachers waited outside while a class exited the venue where her class would take place, she was recognised by one of the young pre-school students. The young girl recognised her sister’s Helen O’ Grady teacher. Her delight and excitement drew the attention of her classmates as she joyfully exclaimed, “Do you know who that is? She’s DRAMA!”

Today’s children and students are exposed to disapproval and negativity. Our drama lessons offer them a place to learn new skills to be used on stage and in presentation as well as a safe place where they are affirmed and nurtured. We have found that students and even their family members and friends recognise “Drama” as a place of excitement, creativity and inspiration.

As teachers we are privileged and proud to allow your students into this world where we can strive to inspire and lead.
