Testimonials

“My two children started Intrepidus Stage School (3 years ago?) a bit little shy and quiet. But Olwyn and her wonderful team have coached and developed their confidence, strengths and personalities beyond belief. They have amazed me with what they are capable of with the consistent encouragement and support in a safe and inclusive environment. Not only have they become more self aware and confident with being on stage, but this has impacted positively on so many areas of their learning and communication… in school, sports and at home.
My girls over the years with Olwyn have loved the drama, singing and dancing and the wonderful shows but most of all the great fun and friendships they have made. It is absolutely their favorite after school activity, a home from home! Couldn’t recommend it more, it’s a truly wonderful stage school.”

“Intrepidus Stage School has helped me so much with my confidence and now I can talk in public and in front of my class which I couldn’t do before without freaking out and panicking! Olwyn and all the teachers are so supportive and they make everyone smile.
The reason why Intrepidus is so amazing is because it’s a safe, happy and caring place where everyone can express themselves and no one will judge them for it! Also, the end-of-year shows are really hard work but soooo much fun! I can’t wait to join the Seniors class in September!”
