Drama Stars Academy

My 6 year old daughter has been with Drama Stars Academy for almost 3 years and it has been the best decision we have ever made. We initially enquired about getting her into drama because of her love with dressing up, playing out scenarios and pretending to be someone or something else. As she got older and was able to read a little, we added on public speaking classes and this not only assisted my daughter with building her self-confidence but it also helped her a lot with her reading as she was only in Kindergarten when she started. Donna from Drama Stars Academy is an amazing teacher who provides fantastic guidance and incredible support to all of her students. Thank you so much Donna!

Drama Stars have been great for my kids. My eldest started 2 years ago and has flourished. She is more confident in speaking, has greatly improved her social skills and it's really spurred her creative thinking. My youngest has also recently joined and loves it. Donna, Katy and the team work very hard to deliver a great experience for the kids and it's always a really friendly atmosphere. I've always found them to be very responsive and helpful whenever we have had any issues. If you have child who could use a safe space to nurture their creative and social skills then I highly recommend Drama Stars.

Our family cannot thank Drama Star Academy (DSA) and the incredible Donna Larkin enough for the transformative impact they’ve had on our children over the past seven years. Even though we’ve moved away and can no longer attend, the skills they gained at DSA remain a lifelong gift. Donna’s passion for drama and her dedication to her students are unmatched. Under her guidance, our kids grew into confident speakers, critical thinkers, and adaptable problem-solvers. These skills aren’t just for the stage—they’ve become part of who they are. A perfect example? Our daughter recently aced her Year 10 Personal Project presentation **without any preparation**—her ability to think on her feet, articulate ideas clearly, and engage her audience was pure “DSA magic” in action. (Imagine what she could do with prep time!) What makes DSA truly special, though, is Donna herself. She pours her heart into every class, treating each student as an individual and fostering a nurturing environment where kids thrive. Over the years, she became more than a teacher—she was a trusted friend who understood our children deeply. Whenever we faced parenting challenges, Donna’s insights and kindness were invaluable. If you’re looking for a place that builds confidence, creativity, and resilience while feeling like family, Drama Star Academy is it. Thank you, Donna and DSA, for shaping our kids into the capable, positive-minded individuals they are today. We’ll always cherish our time with you! 💛

We have been with Drama Stars academy for years, and we are extremely happy. My kids have always loved the school holiday programs, and it was amazing watching their end-of-the-day or end-of-the-week performance : I am always astonished by how much they learn and achieve in such a short time. My eldest kid also attends the ongoing class, every term. Through the years she has tried a few different classes, and she is very much enjoying the senior improvisation class now. Of course, there are all the self-confidence and communication skills and general wellbeing. It is good. But it is enough for me to see that she is happy to come to class every week and enjoying herself. Drama is really making her happy, and that is the best part. Thanks a lot, Donna and family!🤩

This is not comment only on the page, We just wanna share our thoughts as a parents who used to be stressed about their daughter. My 9 years old daughter had an issues with communication, making friends, talk with others and always been shy at school and public. It really ruined us seeing her in that situation, lonely, sad, depressed. Many thanks to Donna and Katy. They’re really amazing!!🎭🤩 After drama classes and public speaking classes she’s absolutely different child. So confident, relaxed, feels so happy and acting exactly like super stars 🤩 Now I’m pretty sure that my daughter will reach her goals and she will get the best results wherever she will find herself. Doesn’t matter -diplomatic section, business or management. 💫 it also effectively changing her lifestyle. Best ideas, creativity, intelligence. Trust me, they all start from child’s self confidence and public speaking and activities. And Donna &Katy they know what they doing. I’m witness and cannot believe whatever i see. Also we don’t have to worry about anything, just leave it to them, they will look after everything like their own family member. I can tell from my daughter, she cannot stop talking about Donna and Katy. Really thanks dear Donna and Katy🙏 You’re actually super stars ✨❤️💫
