Nurturing Confidence, Teaching Success

It is incredible what success can do for our souls! Experiencing failure can often lead to further failure, as we become accustomed to a certain type of outcome. And it is the same with success - experiencing success leads us to recreate further successful experiences! Taking our students through successful Parent Presentations sets them up for success in other areas. Creating a successful experiences nurtures their self confidence and teaches them to believe in themselves. We can achieve so much when we believe in ourselves and our abilities! 

Preparing our students for successful presentations is just another step towards setting them up for SUCCESS in life!

Confidence On Show!

Four primary aged classes performed their hearts out for proud family members at Erica Girls' Primary yesterday! There were many students for whom yesterday's performance was the first time they had been on stage, and the first time they had performed solo for their loved ones. It was incredible to see the sense of achievement growing in the students during the course of the afternoon, as well as the pride on the faces of those observing!

Our programme is extremely popular at Erica Girls' and, after almost a decade at the school, our four classes are still full to over flowing! 

For more information on where your child can attend classes, see our website www.helenogrady.co.za or phone our office on 0413671210. Building confidence and strong communication skills is what we specialise in, and it is our joy to see our students equipped and empowered!

Parent Days Approach!

Excitement is high in classes as our teachers and students prepare to host their parents, friends and family at classes at the end of term!

Each Primary aged class will present a workshop-type demonstration, showing a cross section of work that the students cover in class during the term.  Speech work, movement, improvisation and script work will all be shown off to visitors!
