Extraordinarily Creative
Gift a Seat™ Youth Theatre Scholarship Application
Tim Bray Theatre Company has limited scholarship placements available to children and teenagers who may not otherwise be able to attend our Extraordinarily Creative drama classes.
The Gift a Seat™ Scholarship fund will pay enrolment fees for Term One (Value $175.00).
Extraordinarily Creative drama classes are designed for children and teenagers who are differently wired to find their own voice and place. A weekly class (for ages 5-16) created specifically for those who skip to a different beat and who see and experience life in their own extraordinary way.
“A positive, fun and safe place for children and young people with ASD/neurodiversity to use the creativity of drama and express themselves as never before.” Jo Sutton – General Manager, Children’s Autism Foundation.
Kicking off in Term 2 2021 on Tuesday 4 and Wednesday 5 May, our first Extraordinarily Creative classes will run weekly at Meadowood Community House in Unsworth Heights, on the North Shore.

Please answer the following questions to help us get to know your child and determine if Extraordinarily Creative classes are right for them. Class spaces are extremely limited, and we appreciate you taking the time to provide detailed answers.
Has your child ever attended an after school drama class (or similar) before? How was the experience for your child?
*
Please tell us about your child. Include details of their likes/dislikes, sensory needs, behavioural problems, and other information we should know for working with you child.
*
Can your child be in a group of 5-7 other children without parents for one hour? What support does your child need for being in a group?
*
What support does your child require at school?
Is your child verbal or non-verbal? How does your child communicate?
*
Is your child prone to eloping or running away? How is this behaviour triggered or prevented?
*
How will your child cope with other kids in the class who have movement, vocal, or sensory expressions, such as shouting, stimming, or spinning?
*
Can your child cope by putting on headphones or moving to the other side of the room, or will a very disruptive child distress them?
The scholarships and this pilot programme are funded by Stewart Germann, administered by Cognition Education Trust. As part of our funding agreement with them we have a requirement to report back to them with outcomes and our learnings.
If your application is successful would you be happy to take part in a brief survey at the end of term to assist us with your reporting requirements?
