Where storytellers begin

Tell & Show

Juniors (1–5 years)

One adventure, woven together — where the songs and poems arrive at exactly the moment the story needs them.

Story

Telling it. Showing it. Bringing it to life. The room becomes a river, a forest, a night sky — and everyone in it is part of the tale.

Rhythm

Singing. Moving. Making music. Shakers for the rain, a rasp for a crocodile's grin — instruments wake up right inside the story.

Rhyme

Imagining. Learning. Expressing ideas. Poems performed with the whole body — big voices, tiny whispers, surprised faces, sneaky grins.

As storytellers grow

Speech & Drama

Middles (5+ years) | Seniors (8+ years)

From school years through to VCE: voice and communication, poetry and script work, improvisation and performance. The same joy, with the lights turned down and the imagination turned all the way up.

Our Story

Ranges Studio grew from a simple belief: young people develop best when imagination leads and their voices are welcomed.

Over many years working in classrooms, creative spaces, and school productions, one thing became clear. The moments that matter most are not only the polished performances and big finales. They are the quieter breakthroughs. A child finding their voice. A hesitant student choosing to step forward. A room softening as confidence begins to unfold.

When imagination leads, confidence follows.

Ranges Studio exists to make room for those moments.

Young people are encouraged to play, tell stories, move, listen, and create, discovering communication and expression in ways that feel natural and joyful. Confidence grows through shared experiences, creativity, and connection.

My career in Speech & Dramatic Arts spans more than 25 years across teaching, children’s entertainment, and large-scale school productions. I’ve worked across early learning, primary, and secondary settings, in both educational and creative environments, including Melbourne Grammar, the Dublin Academy of Dramatic Arts, and Braemar College in the beautiful Macedon Ranges.

One thing has remained constant throughout my work: creativity doesn’t look the same for everyone. At Ranges Studio, I draw on my background as an educator to design thoughtful, supportive programs that honour different voices and learning styles. Young people are given time, encouragement, and space to find their own way, in an environment where it’s okay to be silly, curiosity is welcomed, and communication grows naturally.

Kind words

Nic is a warm, engaging, and innovative teacher who brings out the best in students. Her ability to 'read' learners and adapt her approach resulted in a much higher standard of performance across our school productions. She combines exceptional people skills with care, humour, and a genuine respect for others.

— Music Director, Melbourne

Nicole is highly creative and imaginative in her work. She is extremely popular with students and staff alike, and thoroughly reliable. During her time with us, Nicole undertook a wide range of projects and consistently demonstrated capability and maturity beyond her years.

— Dublin Academy of Dramatic Arts

Thank you for helping me reach my full potential.

— Student, Melbourne

Nic's dynamic energy, her ability to oversee every element of a production, and her kindness, patience, and optimism throughout the process are nothing short of inspiring.

— Music Director, Macedon Ranges

Drama was always fun, but also calm and well guided. Nicole knew how to manage the group while making everyone feel comfortable and confident. It became one of my favourite classes because of her.

— Student, Macedon Ranges

You created something truly special from just a book. Thank you for being so kind and supportive over the years.

— Student, Macedon Ranges

Thank you for your bubbly, uplifting energy. You always knew how to raise everyone's spirits.
