This site is primarily for families of the Eastern Suburbs Branch of the Academy to provide you with relevant information regarding commencing drama classes and to keep you up to date during the year.
As you may be aware, the programme we offer in the Academy is one of self-development. Our prime aim is to give children on-going confidence and skill in verbal communication.
To begin, please scroll down & read information on the HOME PAGE first.
Home Page: here you will find general information that relates to all Studios including: enrolment information, costs, the most recent Newsletter, our "Refer a Friend" form, plus a general overview of what we do in class for each age group.
The Studio your child will be attending is located at the top of the Home Page. Here you will find specific information relating to your child's class at that location which is updated as applicable during the year.
If you have a question or need further information, please contact Principal, Merylena Sulak directly, so that she can upload the answer directly to your applicable Studio.
We look forward to creating some amazing memories for your children
and seeing you in class very soon!

Term 3 Annual Mid-Year Performance Portal Eastern Suburbs
Term 4 of each year is such a hectic time for everyone, with school exams for Senior students,
special family events, school concerts, planned holidays at the end of the year etc...etc.
So we alleviate some “end of year pressure” by having our Annual Performances held at the end of Term 3 instead.
Our 2027 Mid-Year Performances will be held on:
Saturday 18th September 2027
at the
Morley Sport & Recreation Centre
PLEASE MAKE A NOTE OF THIS DATE IN YOUR DIARY!!!
Our Annual Term 3 Mid-Year Performances are always an exciting and rewarding time, where each class starts
work on their own short play which is then performed for you at the end of the term.
Plays are written so that new students can join in and can be easily costumed from bits and pieces you already
have at home, or picked up cheaply from Op Shops etc.
We always give you plenty of details in advance as we get closer to Term 3 of every year!
(Term 3, 2027 information will be updated as we get closer to that date!)
We also have a specific portal that contains all the information you will need for this annual event.
Please see the link below so you can check out some of the amazing photos from past performances!
Enjoy! :)
