Our students gain confidence, enhancing their communication and teamwork skills through fun games and exercises taught by the experienced Brickworks drama tutors.

Mon 7 July - “Mid-Winter Mystery” (Play Detective for a Day)

Kids! We need your help! This winter Te Atatū has experienced a cold snap and the wetlands are now the icelands! Very strange, large footprints have been seen in the snow. Does Te Atatū have its very own Big Foot? Bring your beanies and scarves and help us solve this Mid-Winter Mystery!

Tuesday 8 July - "Lost in Space!" (Physical Theatre)

When you build a spaceship, don’t forget your maps! Today we’re making rockets and blasting off, but oh no! What happens if we get lost in space? Will we meet a friendly alien or the Man in the Moon? Maybe we’ll catch a shooting star or swim in the lakes of Titan! Join us for an intergalactic adventure that’s sure to be out-of-this world!

Wed 9 July - Music Stars (Musical Theatre)

Today we welcome Meghan and Sherree (sp?) from Music Stars to help us perform our own musical theatre number! You don’t have to be a confident singer to join in the fun. Soloists and chorus singers will all have so much fun today!

Thursday 10 July - Jumanji Party! (Storytelling)

This year, one of our fave movies, Jumanji, is turning 30! So, we’re throwing a birthday party, and you are invited! Join us for a day of jungle-themed games, birthday cake, and who knows? Maybe we’ll find ourselves stuck in a game!!

Friday 11 July - “Dear Dom” Advice Show (Improvisation)

Today we’re imagining that there is a 12 year old kid named Dom who gives out the best advice on popular TV show “Dear Dom”. Today, we’ll all dream up letters to write to Dom - common, everyday problems that kids face, i.e. my little sister keeps stealing my shoes; I hate eating veggies; why do my parents put me to bed when I am definitely not tired? Using props and costumes, we’ll act out the problems along with the solutions Dom offers.

Every day finishes with a 3:00 p.m. showcase by the kids for their friends and family.

BRICKWORKS DRAMA SCHOOL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Guidelines for Drama Class Please arrive to class 5 min early. Please send your child to drama in comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. Please bring a water bottle. Please remind younger children to visit the toilet before class.

Open Classes and Showings Parents are welcome to watch the first class, but after that please drop off your children and collect them at the end of class. This helps us create a focussed environment where the children don't feel the pressure of an audience. We will run Open Classes once a term that you are welcome to attend and observe. Photos and videos are only allowed to be taken on Open Class days. We will work towards a public showing of the students' work in Term 3.

Bring a Friend Week Week 3 of each term is "Bring a Friend" week. Students are invited to bring a friend (of appropriate class age) to try a Brickworks drama class for free! This policy does not apply in Term 3.

Missed Classes Please let us know if your child will be absent (no refunds or make-up sessions for missed classes).

Pick-Ups Please let us know who (besides the parent/caregiver) is authorised to pick up your child. If someone else is picking them up, or they are making their way home independently, please let us know.

Behavioural Guidelines Brickworks students are expected to:

Respect and listen to tutors and their classmates
Participate in class according to the tutor's instruction
Refrain from uninvited and unwelcome physical contact with classmates and tutors
Verbally communicate with classmates and tutors in a respectful manner

If the tutor, a classmate or a parent has concerns with the behaviour of a student (their child or someone else's) Lauren or Natascha will

make a time to speak in person with the student's parent or caregiver to try to resolve the matter. If the behaviour continues the parent or caregiver will be notified in an email, and the student given another chance (if deemed appropriate). If the behaviour continues subsequent to this step, the student will be removed from the class to either: a) take a break from drama for the rest of the term, returning the next term if deemed appropriate; or b) moved to a different class if deemed appropriate.

Payment Please make payment for the term ($110) by the end of Week 2. Payment details: Brickworks Drama School 03-1505-0013696-000 *Remember to add your childs name as a reference The credit card option is not yet available. Well add this preference via Enrolmysoon.

Free trial class

If our child is interested in drama, but unsure, you are welcome to try one class for free. The second time your child attends, you will need to enrol and pay the term's fees. We do not offer refunds if you discontinue classes partway through the term or go away on holiday, missing classes.

Re-enrolment process Please make sure that you pre-enrol for each term. There is no automatic re-enrolment for our regular students

Guidelines for the Holiday Workshops

Timetable for the Workshops

Each workshop is a self-contained day with a central theme. Our aim is to provide an exciting day where children will enhance their confidence, communication skills and teamwork through games and exercises taught by an experienced tutor and tutor's assistant. Each day will be divided as follows:

9:00 10:30am "Get-to-know-each-other" and warm-up activities that introduce the theme of the day. Introductions and explanation of the Holiday Workshop rules.

10:30 10:45am Morning tea

10:45 12:20pm First round of games and exercises around the day's theme. Exploration of ideas to develop for the end-of-day showing.

12:20 1:00pm Lunch and free time.

1:00 2:30pm Second round of games and exercises. Short craft activity related to the day's theme. Rehearsal for end-of-day showing.

2:30 3:00pm Showcase for parents and caregivers Notes for parents and caregivers Please send your child with a packed morning tea, lunch and a water bottle. Brickworks does not provide meals and snacks. Please send your child along in comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. Please send them with a hat and apply sunblock in the warmer seasons. Parents and caregivers are welcome to watch the 30 minute showcase at 2.30pm. This is not compulsory but you are welcome to come along and enjoy the childrens work. Parents are not expected to stay during the day. This helps us create a focussed environment where the children will interact with their peers more freely. Photos and videos are allowed to be taken during the 2.30pm showcase.

Tutors and assistants Brickworks drama tutors, Lauren, Marlon and Natascha will run the workshops each day. Well have one tutor and one assistant per group (if there are more than 10 students per group). The assistants are senior secondary and tertiary students with drama training, who will assist us with drama activities, craft activities and supervision during the breaks.

Medical Conditions Policies and Procedures

Illness and Emergencies Please make sure you have given us details of an emergency contact person. If your child becomes ill during class, we will call their parent / caregiver to pick them up. If they cannot be reached, we will call the emergency contact. If neither contact can be reached, a Brickworks staff member will take the necessary actions for the well-being of your child. In the event of an emergency, 111 will be called.

Special Needs Please make sure you have notified us of any medical conditions, allergies or special needs your child has. Brickworks Drama School is inclusive. Open communication with families helps us create a positive environment for every student.

Other If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to email us or chat to the tutor at the end of class. Our website will be updated with Term Dates for the
