Talking Gargoyles & Fun Facts

Enjoy this video of a talking Gargoyle at Denver Airport, USA: https://vimeo.com/454629172 (thanks to DenFiles)

Did you know Gargoyles were incorporated into Gothic architecture for the same reason we have down-pipes and gutters on our homes now?

Originally, gargoyles had spouts for mouths and were hollow from the top of their heads. This was to direct the water off the roof of the home and away from the brickwork on the walls.

If you’re looking for a fun read in the holidays, SONG OF THE GARGOYLE by American Author Zilpha Keatley Snyder is a good 90’s throwback novel for young readers.

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.
