Why is drama important?
Drama has loads of benefits for children. Not only does it improve literacy and concentration, but it also builds confidence, communication and social skills/networks. Drama is an important emotional and creative outlet and the bonus is, it’s tons of fun!
Benefits of Drama
Self confidence, Imagination, Empathy, Cooperation, Concentration, Communication, Problem solving, Quick thinking, Emotional outlet, Relaxation, Self-discipline, Trust, Physical fitness, Memory, Social awareness, Friendships, Aesthetic appreciation.
Communication and Resilience
Developing communication, resilience and social skills through drama builds foundations for a more cohesive city, supporting children as they grow into contributing adults.
Developing creativity
Through mime, improvisation and games, children develop the art of creating and storytelling, and aesthetic appreciation. Audience members discover the joy of live theatre and grow an appreciation for the creation of art.
Musical Theatre
A fun class spent learning songs from broadway musicals and simple choreography to go with them. We will be working on little bits of dance and singing technique, exploring characterisation, acting through song and encouraging children to add their own unique fair to their performance.

Child Safety
All children who attend Wit Kids classes have the right to feel and be safe.
Wit Kids aims to create an environment where kids feel empowered to freely and playfully express themselves through performance. We want Wit kids to come to class to learn, have fun and make new friends. Part of this is creating a culture where children feel seen, heard and respected by all teachers and fellow students. We strive to achieve this on every level of our organisation.
Wit Kids is committed to providing an environment where First Nations children feel that their culture is valued and supported and where their identity and sense of self is encouraged. We have a zero tolerance policy for child abuse, racism, bullying or discrimination of any kind and the wellbeing of children enrolled in our program will always be our top priority. We extend our commitment to cultural safety to children from all cultural backgrounds.
CHILD SAFETY OFFICERS: Madeleine Magee Carr & Lansy Feng
If you have any questions, feedback, or would like to know more about child safety, please email Maddy at wit.kids@witinc.com.au or Lansy at lansy@witinc.com.au
