St Laurence's College is excited to launch our new College mobile app.

The app has been developed to provide an instant way for parents to receive College communications and stay up to date with information such as sport fixtures and cancellations; music and co-curricular activities.

Other features include the College calendar, newsletters, My Student Account, Parent Lounge and Online Payments. 

How to download
The app is free to download onto any smartphone or tablet and can be found on Apple and Google Play App stores. Just search for 'St Laurence's College', or follow the hyperlinks above if you are reading this news item on your mobile or tablet. 

Manage subscriptions
The app is designed for parents to receive communications which are relevant to their son/s only. Once the app has been downloaded, parents can customise their subscription settings and select only the year group, House, sports, music and other co-curricular activities which their son/s participate in. Please note, without updating these settings, users will automatically be subscribed to all communications. 

Please click here to view instructions. 

We strongly encourage all parents to download this app and customise the subscription settings ready for the 2019 school year. 

St Laurence’s College offers a program for students wishing to begin or improve their skills in Speech and Drama.

The lessons give students the necessary skills to become a confident speaker and performer in front of a live audience.  This will help in all walks of life, such as business, where presenting ideas or selling projects are becoming more necessary to a successful career.

Students of all ages are given the opportunity to perform at the Speech and Drama Showcase where they can show off their hard work and progression to fellow peers and families. As this program is run in conjunction with Trinity Guildhall College, London, students can do Speech and Drama exams, which would lead to a higher OP ranking (and equivalent).

The Trinity Guildhall exams range from Grade 4 through to Grade 8. Attaining a pass for grade 7 and 8 exams will give students the equivalent of an OP 8.  These exams include students memorising and performing between two and four monologues, improvisations, questions in character and a re-writing of a monologue. 

Over the course of this program, students will learn Theatre games, the technique of Speech, Improvisation, Public Speaking and Performance skills. It also offers help for students with their written and oral assessment.

To enrol please ask the Drama Department for an enrolment form.
