What’s happening?
With teacher workloads at record highs and schools across Australia searching for ways to keep kids engaged, former primary school teachers Sarah and Manny Kechayas are taking their classroom creation, Pevan & Sarah, on the road for their fourth annual national tour.
Beloved by early primary and preschool students, the duo will bring their iconic tiger, Pevan, and his energetic sidekick Sarah to the Gold Coast on Wednesday 29 October at HOTA. The 50-minute live show blends music, laughter and learning in an interactive, action-packed performance.
Why it matters?
Created by teachers, Pevan & Sarah’s shows and songs are designed to support educators by combining curriculum-aligned literacy and numeracy with social-emotional skills such as teamwork, confidence and resilience. Their live performances give children a chance to sing, dance and connect in ways that help build joy around learning, while giving teachers and families a much-needed boost.
“We started Pevan & Sarah when we were teaching because we understood the impact that music can have on a child’s education,” said Sarah. “We know how stretched teachers are and our goal has always been to support them – whether that’s through our online videos, songs and resources or by bringing kids together for a live, unforgettable learning experience.”
Local impact:
For Gold Coast families, the HOTA performance offers an opportunity to experience a high-quality, curriculum-linked live show close to home. The event brings children together for a fun and educational outing while easing some of the challenges faced by teachers and parents.
