Alan Montanaro, Principal of the Helen O’Grady Academy in Malta, recently announced that the acclaimed development programme through drama will be opening classes at the new Maria Regina Boys Secondary School in Mosta.

Classes will kick be held Thursday from October.

“The importance of drama as a development tool is indisputable”, explained Mr Montanaro. “Children who learn to speak out clearly and relate enthusiastically and confidently with others develop skills that make the journey through life much easier. We feel it is our responsibility to make our wonderful curriculum more accessible to more children”, he said.

Evening classes are already held in Sliema, Attard, San Gwann/Birkirkara, Cottonera, Pembroke and Mellieha .The opening of the Mosta classes should be of convenience to parents living in the central part of the island and  who are often left taxiing their children from one activity to another.

The Helen O’Grady Academy provides children between the ages of three and 17 with unique opportunities to develop clear speech, fluent delivery and pleasing social skills. The program gives children the confidence to participate in all aspects of their lives, enables them to ask questions, seek answers and share information with others. Children who mix well with others find it easier to make friends and adjust to new situations.

“The Academy takes a very naturalistic approach to teaching drama”, concluded Mr Montanaro, “we believe in nurturing the innate talents of all our students to ensure each student is encouraged in a warm, positive learning environment”.
