4 STEPS to greatly influence your child’s ability to succeed in the future!

The Australian Acting Academy classes are not just about acting. Far from it, they have been specifically designed to USE acting as a tool to benefit your child in life. It does this in 4 easy steps.

Step 1: Build a Sense of Belonging.

This is an attribute of successful people. It’s what psychologists call an affiliation drive. Belonging to a group leads to a non-arrogant status with peers, and inquisitiveness with people, places and things. The Academy class quickly gives each student a strong sense that they belong to not only the class, but an organisation of 600 strong students. They wear their uniform with pride, and it is often through this sense of belonging that we first see a positive change in our students.

Step 2: Build a Sense of Self Worth

This is the intrinsic belief that given how I look, how smart I am, and what talents I have – “ I am glad I am me!”

Each Academy class runs under the philosophy of the safety net – a simple no bullying, peer support based understanding. It is in this environment that our students fast become comfortable with who they are. For many it is the first time they feel they have existed in a judgement free zone. It is through building the students self worth that we begin to see improvement in the skills we teach them, as well as behavioural and attitudinal changes in their school and home life.

Step 3: Build a Sense of Individual Identity Through Competency.

Even identical twins have differences. The Academy honours the differences in all the students and looks for opportunities for them to show their individual talents, while give them other opportunities to build competencies in new skills. By building their ability to have a talent or skill that is their own, our classes allow them to feel pride in the competency of a skill that not everyone else has. In fact 99% of the world finds public speaking and performing the top fear. We help our students stand in the TOP 1% of the world!

Step 4: Build a Sense of Self Efficacy

Very few students today leave primary or high school BELIEVING they were born to win. There are many reasons for this but a strong sense of self efficacy is probably the most important step towards correcting this and allowing your child to succeed in life. Simply, Self Efficacy is the feeling that one can perform any particular task successfully and a functional belief in one’s ability to control what happens in an uncertain world.

Self worthiness may give students permission to succeed, but self efficacy lets them believe that THEY ARE ABLE to achieve.

It empowers you to strive for your goals then it continues to motivate you long after you have reached your initial objective.

This means that once a student feels they can achieve at any of the skills we teach them, their motivation to achieve actually becomes stronger. We call this the flow on affect. The Students begin to expand their belief in their ability to succeed in other unrelated skills. Success and achievement become something that the students begin to take for granted and they begin to EXPECT to achieve as opposed to having a fear of failure. This is probably one of the biggest gifts our classes will give your child: The desire to feel confident in all areas of life!

Just imagine the empowerment your child will feel after working for 6 months in this environment!
