Principal: Duncan Rice B.A. Dip Ed

Duncan studied drama in South Africa and the Guildhall School of Music
and Drama in London. He was Head of Drama at St John's College School, Cambridge, in the United Kingdom before becoming the Helen O'Grady Principal for Northern Ireland. Over the course of his career he has acted in film and theatre, but most particularly established himself as a director of many innovative children's productions, aimed at bringing young people together from all communities and backgrounds. He received an Award from the British Franchise Association for his innovative work with the Academy in Northern Ireland, where he established the largest drama school in Ireland, and the largest branch in the world wide network of the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy with over 1300 students. Many of his students have appeared in major films, television, radio and the theatre. Cape Town’s Helen O’Grady Drama Academy has been operating for over 15 years and was the first Academy to open in South Africa. The Academy is now one of the world's largest drama schools with over 2500 students attending class each week. The Academy aims to develop young people’s confidence, self-esteem, communication skills and theatrical ability through a balanced curriculum where each child is nurtured by fully trained drama teachers. Duncan is also the Director of Helen O'Grady Africa and has established branches in Botswana, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria and Zambia. He is also a founding member of Aardvark Casting, an international casting agency which is quickly becoming the first stop for casting in the world.
