Brickworks Drama School has been a creative force in Te Atatū Peninsula for ten years now! Named after the early brickworks that operated in Te Atatū Peninsula, our community drama school for tamariki and rangatahi was born out of the 2015 Pop the Top Community Festival. We put together a programme of 10 community classes and were met with such a great response, we just kept on going!

Our Philosophy
There’s no doubt that the creative arts offer children a powerful way to find their own voices, build their confidence, make friends, and follow their own creative ideas. At Brickworks Drama we find so much joy in bringing out student’s unique voice and powerful imagination.
All our tutors are qualified theatre practitioners with rich industry experience. We focus on a culture of kindness, then we build confidence and skill in our students, so they can let their creativity shine. For us, the creative process is just as valuable as sharing a performance. Brickworks drama students experience both with opportunities for end-of-term performances and an annual show or screen production.
Drama helps students:
- understand and reflect on themselves and others
- safely explore the world they live in
- develop curiosity
- develop empathy
- challenge themselves
- support others through teamwork
- express themselves in a supportive environment
- share stories that matter to them with people they care about
