STORYTELLING AND DRAMA

PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOLS

Combining twenty years experience as a storyteller, drama teacher, trainer and community artist, I enjoy designing and presenting a diverse range of programs in schools from Kindergarten to Year Twelve. My programs connect with key learning areas of the New South Wales Department of Education curriculum, with particular relevance to Human Society And Its Environment, English, Creative Arts, Drama and History. I also offer retreat and reflection programs which are relevant to independent schools religious education and values teaching.

Believing that stories provide a solid foundation for all education, I enjoy adapting my story programs for specialist areas including literacy and language learning, special needs programs, cultural harmony events and environmental projects.

“Anna was organised, efficient and fun. One of  the most pleasing things about the Poetry Week program was the final outcome. The finishing performance that the students presented was exceptional and showcased public education at its best.”
