Penny Young is an experienced drama teacher, local to the North Shore and Northern Districts of Sydney.
She holds childcare centre drama classes for toddlers and preschool children, and before and after school drama classes for school children aged 5 to 12.
Drama teaches children how to communicate. It improves confidence, gives students the ability to think quickly and clearly, empowers them to cope with unexpected situations, and enhances teamwork skills. Children who learn drama discover new ways to listen, observe, and respect others. By allowing a child to step into another person’s shoes, drama teaches empathy and resilience. Drama provides valuable tools that a child will use for life.
If you are interested in having Penny teach a weekly Drama Class at your school, preschool, or community group, please contact her using the “Request Information” form on this page. Classes can be held in a school or other hall, a library or a large room or classroom.
Penny holds Public Liability insurance and has Working With Children clearance, both available on request. She has also completed the NSW Government Child Safe for Managers eLearning modules.
