Belong

More than just a drama class

When you join Speak Up you’re not just enrolling in Speech and Drama lessons – you’re investing in your child’s growth. There are no cookie-cutter approaches or shortcuts here. Our talented teachers are invested in your child’s progress and have the knowledge and know-how to equip your child with skills for success in school and in life. Our team aren’t just teachers – they’re role models.

Yes, Speech and Drama classes are about building performance and communication skills. Confidence, articulation and projection are just a handful of reasons why kids arrive in our classes. But what we do is so much more than skill development. We build awesome humans.

Courage. Wit. Persistence. Compassion.

These are the things that a performing arts education provides. Skills such as speaking clearly, making eye contact and reading aloud are embedded into Speech and Drama lessons and they have a real impact in your child’s future. How do I know? As somebody who grew up taking Speech and Drama, I experienced this growth first hand.

Grow up at Speak Up

At Speak Up Studio, we are a part of your child’s journey as they grow up into the person they want to be. From their first day of prep (with their overly-large backpack!) to their last day of year 12 and beyond, speech and drama will be their ally, their secret weapon, and their second home. Our students stick with us for years and years because with each year and each performance they can see, hear, and feel the incredible progress they’ve made.

And we love nothing more than watching the once wild or super-shy 4-year-old Explorer develop into a unique, expressive, empathetic teenager who is ready to face the world head on. If this sounds like the place you can see your kid growing up, then read on to find the program and class for you.

Monthly Membership Fees

Speak Up membership fees are paid monthly, all year round. Each term is split into three payments, so that’s 12 payments all up. If you enrol late, your fee will be prorated and we will organise this for you. Enrolment in Speak Up  is ongoing – if you want to withdraw you need to let us know, otherwise we will assume you’ll be back next term!

Studio Based Classes

Most of the magic happens at our studio venues! Our custom designed spaces have everything our kids and teachers need to feel safe and comfortable in class. From our colourful classrooms, to our gorgeous theatre curtains, to our bursting costume racks. Our studios are magical spaces full of colour and energy.  Decorated with props from our previous shows, bursting with books and resources at our fingertips.
