The main aims are for children to make friends, build their confidence, learn performing arts skills but most importantly to have fun.
We decided to run a stage academy in the morning offering students to learn songs, dances and scripts from a popular musical/film.
The children performed the production on the final day which we filmed and e-mailed out to all parents.

“I can’t thank you enough for providing such a wonderful week for my girls. They had a ball! I cannot wait to see the video. We are absolute fans of the Brain Space and we will be back for more!”
In the afternoon’s students are put into groups for swimming lessons. They then have more time in the water learning life saving techniques, water safety and then games with the other groups! The day is finished off with craft and drama games. On one afternoon students also get to take part in a cooking class with the fantastic Modern Pantry.
Our upcoming school holiday program next is the popular feature – The Greatest Showman.
Each afterschool session encompasses up to 4 activities to promote activity and learning to boost your child’s brain!
A small group session with our tutors to assist in homework understanding and completion. A relaxed and comfortable space for students encompassing different styles of learning.
Our program includes STEM competitions and challenges, experiments and ongoing projects, games and activities.
A quiet and relaxing space to chill and read and go on a literary adventure or relax the body through mediation or yoga activity.

She loves keeping active and passing on her passion for the performing arts. She is excited to be working The Brain Space and can’t wait to meet lots of new students!
Brain-based learning is motivated by the general belief that learning can be accelerated and improved if educators base how and what they teach on the science of learning, rather than on past educational practices, established conventions, or assumptions about the learning process.
Kinesthetic activities help commit learning into long-term memory. Turning a lesson into a physical experience is not only a good way to keep kids focused and engaged – it’s also lots of fun!
Participating in sport and physical activity contributes to the holistic development of children and adolescents.
Not only does participation contribute to physical and mental health outcomes and valuable social connections, but physical activity (including sport) has been linked to cognitive development.
Physical activity has been shown to stimulate brain development and this correlates with improved academic performance. It also lessens the health risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle so that healthy, active children become better learners.
