Why Film and Drama Is About So Much More Than Acting

30/06/2026

When people hear the words film and drama, they often picture children learning lines or performing on a stage. While that’s certainly part of it, what we see every week at Bondi Performing Arts is something much bigger. Drama gives children the chance to imagine, create, collaborate and problem-solve. It encourages them to speak with confidence, think creatively, work as a team and discover that their ideas have value. Bondi Performing Arts began just over two years ago with one small class.

The Honest Guide to School Holiday Care for Parents Who Want More Than Just Babysitting

26/06/2026

School holidays arrive with a particular kind of dual energy. There’s the genuine excitement of a break from routine, and then there’s the logistical reality of six weeks of school-free days that need to be navigated around work schedules, commitments, and the creeping awareness that screens and boredom are not a sustainable combination for anyone in the household.
