Bringing Live Theatre and Drama Education to Your Primary School Community (NSW Only)
At Flight Path Theatre and Shiny Heart Productions, we believe that theatre is more than entertainment - it’s a powerful way to ignite imagination, strengthen wellbeing and build connection across your school. Our purpose built performances, workshops and drama education programs are designed especially for primary schools, to help students explore, laugh, learn and grow together.
What We Offer
We partner with primary schools to deliver creative, engaging and curriculum-connected programs, including:
Interactive Performances (K-6): A fully-staged live show that visits your school as an incursion, or book an excursion to Flight Path Theatre (Marrickville, 2204) for a thrilling theatre experience. Our productions are created to inspire and nurture creativity, kindness, courage and social-emotional growth in young hearts. Discover our current productions here.
Drama Workshops (K-6): Delivered by our highly experienced teaching artists who LOVE drama, these fun interactive drama sessions explore story, play and movement to build creativity, confidence, communication and social-emotional literacy. Ideal for classes, year groups or whole-school events.
Term Drama Education Programs (K-6): Designed by our experienced team of drama and wellbeing specialists, our 8 week drama program is curriculum aligned (Creative Arts-Drama, English, PDHPE, SEL) to help students build the skills and confidence to make, perform and appreciate drama, while embedding social-emotional learning (SEL) into every lesson. The program can be delivered by our highly skilled teaching artists or your classroom teachers can use the easy-to-follow lesson plans.
