Extension 1 is a unique opportunity for 14–16 year old aspiring actors to step into pre-industry training, experiencing techniques typically reserved for university-level students. It’s where students begin to develop the discipline, focus, and work ethic of a professional actor, while applying the Five Agreements of Extension.
 

Due to the highly collaborative nature of the program, attendance is essential. Each absence impacts not only individual progress but also scene partners and group work. We completely understand that illness and family commitments arise, but we ask for support in ensuring as consistent attendance as possible, especially in Term 4, when students are preparing for their end-of-year showcase.

​

Extension students are expected to demonstrate:

• Commitment: consistent attendance, preparation of work and lines ahead of rehearsals, and full engagement.

• A Good Attitude: enthusiasm, willingness to contribute, support for others, and upholding a safe environment

• Courage and Vulnerability: a readiness to take creative risks, embrace challenges, and grow through the process

 

With the guidance of expert coaches, students will be challenged to collaborate deeply, push their limits, and create work they can be proud of—building not only advanced acting skills, but confidence, resilience, and life skills that extend far beyond the stage.
