"TYC in Cairns is life-­changing. My children have been connected with the TYC for 2 years now and we have also been lucky enough to experience their in-school drama programmes. TYC workshops break down barriers and help foster relationships.  My own personal experience with my 11 year old girl is that the TYC programmes has helped her develop more confidence and she is now a School Captain as a result. As with so many of their workshops that our children have attended. TYC also encourage their older teenagers to get involved providing them with an opportunity to project manage and managing a recruitment business myself , this is a very good skill for people to have. They are a wonderful group of people and work hard to ensure a positive environment for all involved". Jenny Cunsamy 


​WHAT WE are passionate about
We are passionate about developing a sense of self-confidence in our regions children and young people in such a way that instils a positive mindset, a resilient attitude and consistent outlook on the forever changing world around them.

Our Programs nurture these qualities in children + young people, + so much more! 

​”The amount of growth seen by us as teachers, and commented on by parents, in terms of students' confidence, ability to work as a group, showing of initiative and developing an understanding of the various elements of drama were incredible! You all did an awesome job of being able to quickly gauge how best to work with each of the students and motivate them to bring out their best”

LADDER OF PROGRESSION  @ TYC

At TYC we believe that each child is a uniquely creative individual and are all on their own learning journeys. 

We all love to perform on stage and what better way to understand what we need in our performers tool-kit than a Ladder of Progression! Developed specifically for TYC and based off our company Value Statements and continued commitment to the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child, the program is extremely unique. Each step on the ladder ensures that each individual child learns and develops in numerous areas of theatre making in such a way that instils a positive mindset, a resilient attitude and consistent outlook on the forever changing world around them.


​WHAT WE are passionate about​
We are passionate about inspiring innovators of change and its ability to fuel creative thought and action. With this a sense of discovery about the human condition grows deeper and stronger with every passing year.
