“Students developed skills for the stage, creative expression, teamwork, character development and improvisatory opportunities. Once again, you delivered high quality and impactful workshops, ASPA. Thank you.” – Nina Sofo, Teacher
Drama workshops
Public speaking, improvisation, projection, and confidence are just a few of the invaluable skills that drama nurtures, and they lie at the heart of our school-based drama programs. Embedding drama in school based incursions can encourage these traits, ultimately assisting academic growth, helping students communicate effectively while building self-assurance.
Our team brings extensive experience working with diverse age groups, using a blend of creative games, interactive exercises, and guided practice to instil these soft skills in an enjoyable and engaging way. Focus on physicality, character development, improvisation and projection are all woven through our activities, and we prioritise ensuring that every student, whether a seasoned performer or a first-time participant, feels supported and encouraged.
Whether you’re preparing for a school concert or just hoping to deepen your students’ engagement with the creative arts, our Drama Incursions are designed to be accessible and enjoyable for all.
“The opportunity that it gives our students to shine, to express themselves through the arts has been glorious to watch. It’s brought some students into a light that may not have shone if it wasn’t through these possibilities.” – Leonie Brien, Teacher
Concerts and school musicals
The Team at APSA Education also offer a wealth of knowledge when it comes to staging major school productions. We know how important it is to create enjoyable performances from start to finish, ensuring students and staff alike feel successful, supported, and able to create entertaining memorable shows, hassle-free.
Though the final, dazzling performance is important, the journey to get there is just as important. From running and assisting with rehearsals, auditions and schedules or offering personalised assistance with choreography, drama and singing, we offer a range of services that can elevate your students’ performance preparation and help ease the stress of coordinating school performances.
“The design and choreography was achievable and the students have developed self-confidence. Most importantly, we have had a lot of fun. This will be a life-long memory for us all!” – Robyn Hawking, Teacher
‘An Aussie Adventure’: an original Australian kids musical
If you’ve been searching high and low for a fun school musical or if you don’t know where to start, our home-grown, original musical, ‘An Aussie Adventure’ is the perfect performance to stage at your school in 2025!
In true Aussie spirit, this one-of-a-kind production brings to life a heart-warming tale of mateship that resonates with students and audiences alike. Created for Australian Primary Schools, the show has a script brimming with local references, iconic locations, and beloved animals, as well as soundtrack that is a vibrant celebration of Aussie culture, incorporating classic tunes in a journey that ultimately leads to your school’s hometown!
Whether you’d prefer us to manage everything, from rehearsals to the final performance, or if you have teachers with the expertise and time to handle the rehearsals themselves, we’re ready to help. Flexible delivery of this show is designed to accommodate all your needs, and any ambition, so that this adventure is an exciting experience for entire school community!
“It was everything that I hoped for. Thank you to ASPA Education for the wonderful musical. The instructors were so easy to work with, they were flexible, and great with the students and staff. Thanks also for a meaningful, smooth and charming school performance. It has been a pleasure working with ASPA Education.” – Jane Dunstone, Principal
Singing workshops
If your choir is already confidently harmonizing in three parts and looking for an extra challenge, or you’re working with a group of beginner singers who’ve never performed together, we can help you further develop the skills and practices your students most need to further develop their voices and musicality, whatever stage they’re at!
We tailor our approach to ensure that each participant, from seasoned vocalists to newcomers, walks away feeling confident and proud of their contribution. Led by some of Australia’s most accomplished and experienced conductors, our workshops are more than just about singing; they integrate essential vocal health practices, musicianship, and creative choreography, all while focusing on core choral skills like harmony singing. We know that a truly great choir is also present and confident on stage, and so we place a strong emphasis on performance skills so that students don’t just sound great on stage, but feel great.
Preparing for an upcoming event or school performance and need that extra polish to make your song stand out? Whatever the occasion, ASPA Education are passionate and prepped to help choirs of all kinds shine and grow in their musical journey.
“The ASPA people brought with them a skill set that we don’t often get in small schools. Being immersed in a program that valued these creative kids was magical. We had kids that were crying after the performance because they were so happy!” – Vicky McGowan, teacher
