The NSW Public Schools Sydney Drama Ensembles support students in Years 5 to 12 to develop their skills and experience in drama.

The program offers students a pathway to explore and grow their interest in drama within a supportive environment and to perform in drama festivals, gaining practical experience and confidence in their performance skills.

The CoLab Senior Drama Workshops promote collaboration between NSW public school teachers and Year 12 drama students in preparation for their HSC drama group performance.

During the Easter school holidays (7 to 10 April 2026), teachers will be able to choose from the following professional learning options:

• one-day beginner/refresher workshop, ideal for teachers new to the Frantic method or seeking a skills update
• 3-day intensive residency, offering deeper immersion in Frantic Assembly’s collaborative and devising practices.

Teachers may choose to do one or both of the workshops above. Both workshops will take place at The Arts Unit, Lewisham.

Embark on a creative safari like no other. Designed to support students as they transition into the vast savannah of high school life, this camp is a chance to explore, create, and discover new strengths in a truly inspiring setting.

The showcase accepted submissions from students in Kindergarten to Year 12 who were interested in creative practices, including music, dance, visual arts, public speaking, film, and drama. Creative and performing arts projects could be submitted by schools, classes or individual students. These submissions were then compiled into a digital showcase celebrating the creativity of NSW public school students with disability.
