Graded Exams
The benefits of partaking in graded exams are tremendous from confidence building to interview preparation. The children also learn the importance of good speech in public speaking and acting techniques.
I have been with the LSMD for the past twenty years and I received a scholarship to study at Griffith College due to having these exams completed. I'd highly recommend everyone doing a grade exam as I have learned and gained so much from completing these exams

When taking a graded exam; your child will recite from memory two pieces of poetry and speak about a book or toy of their choice.
The examiner will ask your child questions on their chosen pieces; for example, what did they like about the poem, what did they like about the character? Was there anything they didn't like about the characters?
When the exam is over; your child will receive a certificate with their report card.
