Stagecoach Performing Arts

The most important part of being a Stagecoach Principal is changing children’s lives for the better. Creative Courage For Life isn’t just a tagline, it encompasses the essence of Stagecoach perfectly. I genuinely feel that we are changing our students’ lives by setting them up with skills that they may not pick up on the playground. We are teaching them to become confident and outgoing people, which is invaluable in today’s technology heavy world. They learn how to communicate, how to integrate and how to behave, all whilst having fun with their peers

Running my Stagecoach franchise has exceeded my expectations and, as someone who has worked in marketing and high-level management for over 20 years, I had very high expectations! I teach companies how to present themselves to employees and customers day in-day out and I can honestly say that Stagecoach has done an incredible job of building a great culture with their franchisees. They lead from the top down and I’m very proud to be part of the brand. There’s a reason they’re known as the best in the business and I hope to contribute to that reputation as I move forward with my franchise.”

2019 was such an exciting and rewarding year, I launched my franchise because of the demand for children’s performing arts opportunities outside of central Perth but, with that being said, I still can’t quite believe how much the business has grown in such a short space of time. A real highlight for me has been watching my students grow in confidence, as they’ve taken part in professional workshops and formed great friendships.”

It’s incredible to see how far the franchise has come since I launched the first Stagecoach school in Australia. We’re now regarded as one of the best performing arts opportunities for children in the area. As a franchisee, I get a lot of satisfaction out of running my business - seeing my students grow and develop in terms of their life skills, especially the ones who are very shy to begin with. Our branding of Creative Courage for Life is really something I connect with. I wholeheartedly believe in the power of Stagecoach for children.
