Our supportive and fun-filled workshop is the perfect way to build confidence and polish performance skills ahead of the Gunnedah Eisteddfod.
No prep needed before the workshop—just book in and we’ll take care of the rest! If your child doesn’t yet have material to perform, don’t worry—Larnie will provide it during the session and work closely with them to prepare something they feel proud of.
Each day begins with a Speech & Drama Vocal Warm-Up Class from 9:00am–10:30am, where all students come together to energize and have fun,
Then, each student will enjoy a 45-minute one-on-one session during the day—tailored to their needs, giving them space to grow and thrive without the pressure of performing in front of others.
When booking, simply select the ticket with your preferred individual time slot. Each time slot is limited to one student—so grab yours early!
