Julia Gabriel Centre

• Stepping Stones-This adult accompanied programme for children in Nursery One provides learning opportunities that focus on encouraging initiative and independence, through drama, music, movement and speech work.

Age appropriate activities help children develop skills and techniques that enable them to communicate effectively through the exciting medium of drama. This might take the form of poetry, theater, mime, improvisation, puppetry, role-play, masks, storytelling, reading aloud and creative writing. Students also have the opportunity to work towards Trinity College London awards.

A range of creative literacy programmes develops children’s reading and writing skills at every level, motivating and inspiring their desire to explore and discover language and literature. As children develop their skills, they are introduced to a variety of reading genres and writing conventions along the way.

The joy of learning and discovery continues during the long school breaks with a range of specially designed holiday adventures and literacy camps. Encompassing all the aims and benefits of our regular Adult Accompanied, Speech and Drama and Readers and Writers programmes, holiday programmes pack in the fun during the space of a week, as they engage, inspire and develop confidence, creativity and imagination.

Julia Gabriel School of Education runs certificated courses in early childhood education and development, speech communication arts, and presentation and communication skills, for parents and teachers. It runs parenting and educational workshops, the Trinity College London assessments and sponsors and trains judges for both the Singapore Secondary Schools Debating Championship and World Schools Debating Championship.
