When Helen O'Grady, a trained teacher, drama teacher and actress, hired a hall in a Perth suburb back in 1979, and commenced after school drama classes for children, she never could have thought that her techniques would spread to over 25 countries across the globe.

Her aim was simple and focused- to provide a self-development drama programme for children, which would encourage: Enthusiasm, energy and a positive approach to life, Ongoing confidence, Self esteem, Skill in verbal communication and Effective social interaction.

The Helen O'Grady Drama System gained quick and growing acceptance among both children and their parents, first in Perth and then soon across multiple locations in New Zealand, Australia, Africa, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Zambia, Malaysia, Singapore, China, USA, South Africa and the United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe and the Gulf States.
