Home School Circus
Circus for home schooled kids and their families!
Our new Homeschool drop off day!
9.30am-2.30pm
with a focus on circus and performing arts for children aged 6-12 years.
Term 4, 2026 is our pilot program where we will be running for 8 weeks from October 20th to December 8th.
Our Homeschool program will include circus in our purpose built space, performing games as well as arts based down time activities, easing into drama and performance aspects as the weeks go on, with the goal of using drama to also practically advance literacy skills, all while making sure it’s fun and accessible for kids who might feel nervous to start. The day will be run by experienced performing arts staff with a neuro-affirming approach, ensuring inclusive and accessible training.
Pack a morning tea and lunch box + drink bottle for the day. Note any allergies in your medical notes in case we introduce shared food in future.
An example day may look like:
9:30am – 10:30am slow drop off and Warm up games in our Lab Space
1/2 hour for fruit break/transition to space
11am – 12:30pm in The Space – circus time!
12:30pm – 1:30pm Lunch
1:30pm – 2:30pm Final session – flexible content – stories/plays/arts and literature learning/circus practice or music play.
5 hours of drop off care.
Pilot price: $640 for the term (8 weeks) or
Or
$95 per day for individual day bookings.
With priorities to term enrolments (8 weeks).
Based on the success of this pilot, we hope to create more performing arts offerings for homeschool families in future including multiple day options pending interest.
