A successful career, in any walk of life, depends on an ability to communicate well with others.
The skills acquired with the tuition from local teachers, culminating in the Speech and Drama section of TPACS are sure to build confidence and nourish a life-long interest in literature - both modern and the old favourites. What’s more, it’s great fun and provides an extra-curricular focus for a few days in the winter holidays as well as friendship among competitors and families.
Our speech and drama competitions welcomes all students to present their voice-craft, as character acting; prepared prose or poetry; mime; improvisation and other classes during 3 days of competitions, every July school holidays. See our eclectic syllabus for the many options
