Storytelling & Drama: Programs for Schools ~ Anna Jarrett Professional Storyteller

Storytelling is a powerful teaching tool and way to enrich learning experiences across the curriculum. My interactive storytelling programs aim to inspire students to develop a lifelong love of language, stories and music. Storytelling is a powerful tool to captivate and keep students' interest in subjects across the curriculum. Through storytelling, story writing and storymaking, students learn how to become more confident with language and to craft words which creatively express their ideas, emotions and worldviews.

Offering a diverse range of shows, workshops and residencies, I enjoy working with each school community to provide programs which are meaningful and relevant to the students' interests and needs.

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.
