TRW Brisbane FAQ
Students will stay on campus at Stuartholme School in its boarding facilities and spend each day developing their theatre skills through workshops conducted by Core Group Artists who have a speciality in a particular style of theatre. Each Core Group will work towards a performance on Friday 26 September for a live audience of family and friends.
The evenings are spent engaged in an exciting social and cultural program supervised by live-in House Parents, who are also all Queensland Theatre staff and Teaching Artists.
Participants will choose groups to join and work with each day to build their live performance outcome together. These are called Core Groups and usually have 15-20 students each. They are facilitated by experienced Teaching Artists, who are carefully selected by Queensland Theatre.
For their pastoral care, participants are divided into House Parent Groups of approximately 20 students. All House Parents are highly experienced in working with young people. During the day, the week is supervised by Day Staff, who are also Queensland Theatre staff members. All staff onsite have a Working with Children Check by the Queensland Government, and several staff will be trained in first aid. Students are supervised at all times and staff exercise their utmost duty of care in the undertaking of the week. In return we also require students to exhibit their best self-care and respect for others as part of their participation in the program.
