Theatre, a captivating blend of art, storytelling, and performance, offers a unique platform for children to explore their creativity, develop essential skills, and build confidence. Participating in theatre, K-12 students gain many benefits that extend far beyond the stage.

Why is Theatre Important for Children?

• Enhanced Creativity: Theatre encourages children to think outside the box, experiment with different characters, and develop innovative storytelling techniques.
• Improved Communication Skills: Through acting, children learn to articulate their thoughts and emotions effectively, verbally and non-verbally.
• Boosted Confidence: Performing in front of an audience helps children overcome stage fright, build self-esteem, and develop a strong sense of self.
• Stronger Social Skills: Collaborative rehearsals and performances foster teamwork, empathy, and respect for others.
• Academic Benefits: Theatre can improve literacy, language arts, and history skills.

Grace International School: A Stage for Young Talent

At Grace, we believe in the power of theatre to inspire and shape young minds. Every year, our students showcase their talents in productions highlighting creativity, teamwork, and storytelling.

• Grace Early Years (GEY): This year, our youngest stars are proving that rock and roll has a place in the nativity story! Their energy and enthusiasm light up the stage, making the Christmas story come alive in a fresh, fun way.
• Grace Primary School (GPS): GPS is presenting a collaborative nativity story, blending voices and talents to share the timeless message of Christmas with warmth and joy.
• Grace Secondary School (GSS): Our secondary students are diving into the magical world of Narnia with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This production showcases their maturity and dedication to bringing C.S. Lewis’s beloved story to life.

These productions aren’t just about entertainment; they’re about giving students the chance to discover their strengths, connect with others, and create something meaningful together.

At Grace International School, we’re proud to provide these opportunities for our students to shine, grow, and develop skills that will serve them for a lifetime.

Last Thursday, the Grace community came together to celebrate the annual Grace Games. It was a day filled with laughter, camaraderie, and some serious athletic competition. 

The morning kicked off with a series of exciting station-based activities. Students from all year groups participated in a variety of challenges, including sack races, push-ups, skipping, and shot put. The friendly rivalry between the different houses added an extra layer of excitement to the proceedings.

The day’s highlight was undoubtedly the much-anticipated GSS teacher vs student football match. The students, brimming with youthful energy and skill, gave their all, but the experienced teachers proved too strong, securing a 4-1 victory. Despite the outcome, the match was thrilling to watch, filled with breathtaking goals and skilful manoeuvres.

Another crowd-pleaser was the parent-teacher-student relay race. Parents, teachers, and students formed teams and raced against each other, creating a memorable and heartwarming moment. Grace Games showcases the strong bond between the school community and highlights the importance of family involvement in sports.

Beyond the competitive spirit, the Grace Games also fostered a sense of unity and friendship among the students. The event provided an opportunity for students from different year groups to interact, make new friends, and create lasting memories. The day was a testament to the power of sports to bring people together and inspire positive values.

As the sun set on another successful Grace Games, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and gratitude. We would like to thank all the students, teachers, parents, and volunteers who contributed to the success of the event. We look forward to the next Grace Games and hope to continue this wonderful tradition for many years to come.
