School Holiday Writing Programs
Intensive small-group. Explicit teaching of writing skills.
Taught by experienced speech-language pathologists,
the profession that specialises in language.
The problem
Students are being asked to write more than ever. Your child has the grammar, vocabulary, and ideas; they just don’t know how to assemble them on a blank page.
The holidays
School holidays offer a stress free reset. In small, low pressure groups, our speech-language pathologists target exactly where writing breaks down.
The outcome
Your child approaches their next task with confidence and initiative, instead of avoidance.
