I cannot believe that Anneska has come this far, and nearly fell off my chair when she spoke in such a loud, confident manner! I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest with pride in seeing her on stage.

I want to thank Helen O’Grady Drama academy for such a wonderful programme. It feels like we have a different daughter in just 3 months. She’s more open minded, speaks freely, asks questions. She has more confidence and self-esteem. She listens and responds to tasks so easily. I can’t believe it. When we ask her to do something

she does it immediately. No bribing for a chocolate or McDonald’s. It’s totally shocking. I recommend to every parent to take their child. 10 stars for the Academy.

My son was helped at Helen O’Grady in his primary school years, especially in Foundation Phase. His grade one teacher complained that he didn’t want to talk in class, and I was advised to take him to Helen O’Grady Drama. He attended on Saturdays and in no time, he was so fluent at speaking English that he started to be active and was able to socialize with others. Thanks to the Helen O’Grady Drama Academy!

It’s amazing to think how his confidence has grown since he started with you 4 years ago. I have only good things to say about your Academy, and we thank you for including and accommodating both the boys.

Thank you so much for the recognition yesterday. The trophy brings an overwhelming sense of excitement for the child… and parent! It’s such a brilliant idea and will be treasured. Keep up the good work.
