Public speaking is just the beginning.
At Sydney Academy of Public Speaking (SAPS), children learn to express their ideas, speak in front of others and become more comfortable communicating in everyday situations. Through practical experiences rather than memorisation, students gradually learn to speak with greater clarity, confidence and purpose.
Whether your child is naturally outgoing, hesitant to speak or somewhere in between, SAPS gives them the opportunity to learn by doing, find their voice and grow beyond the stage.

Children learn through presentations, storytelling, impromptu speaking, group discussions and fun classroom activities that encourage active participation.
Every lesson is designed to be enjoyable, keeping children motivated while developing practical communication skills.
Students receive personalised guidance and regular opportunities to practise speaking in a welcoming and encouraging environment.
At Sydney Academy of Public Speaking, we believe confidence is built through experience rather than memorisation.
Instead of simply teaching children to deliver speeches, we encourage them to communicate naturally, think independently and express themselves confidently in different situations. Every lesson combines practical speaking opportunities with positive encouragement, helping children develop the confidence to speak in front of classmates, teachers, friends and larger audiences.
As students progress, they become more comfortable organising their thoughts, maintaining eye contact, using expressive body language and delivering messages with clarity and confidence.
Our goal isn't just to create confident speakers; it's to help children become confident communicators for life.
Throughout the program, students develop practical communication and presentation skills that support both their academic and personal growth.
Every Sydney Academy of Public Speaking class gives children opportunities to speak, participate, experiment and improve.
Depending on their age and level, students may take part in storytelling, presentations, impromptu speaking, role play, group discussions, speaking challenges and other practical activities.
The focus isn't on getting everything right the first time. It's about giving children enough opportunities to practise so that speaking gradually feels more natural.
Learn. Speak. Practise. Grow.
Our program is suitable for children aged 7–14, from first-time speakers to those who already enjoy being in the spotlight. It can be particularly valuable for children who:
No previous public speaking experience is required.Children don't need to arrive confident. That's what they're here to build.
Strong communication skills benefit children throughout every stage of life.
Public speaking helps children become more confident in the classroom, communicate effectively with teachers and classmates, participate in group discussions and present ideas with confidence. Beyond school, these skills support leadership, teamwork, creativity and future career success.
By learning to express themselves from a young age, children develop confidence that extends far beyond the stage.
Parents often notice positive changes within just a few weeks of joining SAPS.
Children become more willing to participate in classroom discussions, communicate more openly at home and approach new situations with greater confidence. Many also improve their presentation skills, leadership abilities and overall self-belief.
Our goal is to help every child leave each class feeling more confident than when they arrived.
