WHERE EVERY CHILD SHINES!
DANCE, DRAMA AND MUSICAL THEATRE CLASSES FOR CHILDREN AGED 2 - 18 YEARS
At Shooting Star Theatre School, we believe that every child has a unique spark and our mission is to help them shine their brightest, both on stage and in life.
Our studios were built from the ground up to give local families a safe, vibrant space where creativity, friendship, and confidence can flourish.

Led by our Principal, Miss Lauren Smeaton - a passionate educator and performer, our school is a place where confidence grows, friendships form, and differences are celebrated.
