Back to School

Term 1 starts on Saturday 24th September.

Hi Everyone,
We are delighted to welcome you back to our New School Year, and to welcome new students to NPAS. The Factory is still undergoing it’s makeover and as you will see the building is flying along. We are so happy to be back in The Lir Academy again this year, and St. Matthews NS in Sandymount Saturday classes. We have NPAS Clubs in Castleknock, Hollypark National School & Ballyfermot. Full information is available at our website. There are so many fantastic plans for The Factory as a new Cultural Centre and we are so excited to share them with you all over the coming months.
We can’t wait to see you all for Term 1 – running from Saturday the 24th of September to 10th December.
Kindest Regards
Jill & Eamon

Why Do Drama Class?
Speech, Drama and Communication activities contribute to the personal, social, intellectual and creative development of children, young people and adults by opening avenues for the appreciation of Drama, Literature and poetry. This provides a structured framework for creative expression and gives technical support and guidance for improved skills in communication. Taking Drama Class help to develop skills in working collaboratively with others, enhancing general communication skills and clarity, non-verbal communication,creative thinking, building confidence in ones abilities and enhancing self expression and self esteem.

NPAS and School Examinations
The importance of keeping up your hobbies during exam years, whether for Junior Cert. or Leaving Cert cannot be overstated. At NPAS we firmly believe in everything that all the studies say – children and young people who continue to enjoy their extracurricular hobbies do better in their exams, and are happier in the process! NPAS can remain a key part of your exam year, benefitting your all the way to June!
