Our First Teacher Development Program Graduate

April 11, 2022

We are thrilled to announce that Emma Dalton is the first graduate from our Theatre Bugs Teacher Development Program which was initiated 12 months ago.

Emma has been a Theatre Bugs student for the last 5 years and is recognised as one of our most talented dancers. She has been a long term member of our senior performance and dance classes. During the last year Emma has been assisting with Combo Classes and Junior Holiday Programs and more recently has done an outstanding job as an acting relief teacher for our Bust-A-Move and Intermediate Dance classes.

In Term 2, 2022 Emma will be appointed as one of our performing arts teachers and will begin teaching Combo Classes.

Congratulations, Emma. You have been making a wonderful contribution to Theatre Bugs and all the young students you have been working with and we are very excited to share the next stages of your Theatre Bugs teaching journey with you.

Theatre Bugs

Unforgettable Experiences

Students participate in at least 2 performances each year which often involve sets, lights and costumes. Students are often invited to participate in events such as TV work, charity concerts, Fringe events, Christmas pageants and more!

We Understand Families

We know you are busy so we don’t expect you to sew costumes. We know you need to budget, so we don’t charge for regular ‘in house’ performances. We know that family is really important so we invite all of family to attend performances.

Peace of
Mind

The safety and well being of your child is as important to us as it is to you. Our teachers genuinely CARE about your children. All teachers hold First Aid certificates, Police Clearances and receive ongoing training, mentoring and support.

Skills for 
Life

Children learn to trust their own ideas, develop perseverance, empathy, teamwork, to feel confident in their own ability and develop the confidence they need to tackle the challenging situations they are confronted with in life.

Non-competitive environment

We create an environment where children work together towards a common goal; where they feel proud of their personal achievements.
Children are supported to develop at their own pace without the pressure of exams and competitions.

Children learn to trust their own ideas, develop perseverance, empathy, teamwork, to feel confident in their own ability and develop the confidence they need to tackle the challenging situations they are confronted with in life.
