NOTICE

Script Haven is undergoing rebranding and upgrading. The Script Haven label was applicable for the product we supplied when we opened in 2006. Since then, our vision, resources, and market options have expanded far beyond script provider. The shop has closed for the time being, but the free resources are still available to you here. Look for exciting developments in the future!

Where to get Convention Guidelines and portions to beware of


The ACE International Student Convention Guidelines are available free to download at http://www.aceministries.com/studentprograms/isc/

The South Pacific Student Convention Guidelines are available free to download at http://www.scee.edu.au/spscguidelines. If you are a South Pacific student aiming to attend an International Convention, be aware that there may be differences in the guidelines which you need to take into account.

Dramatic Monologue
As of July 2012, South Pacific Guidelines for Dramatic Monologue  have been altered to match the International Guidelines, which state no set and only one prop.

Dramatic Dialogue
As of July 2012, South Pacific Guidelines for Dramatic Dialogue have been altered to match the International Guidelines, which state no set and only one prop.

Puppet Play
The International Guidelines for Puppet Play state: Scripts must be tastefully presented, avoiding slang insinuation of questionable language. Also avoid references to television or worldly practices such as movies, dancing, or mixed swimming.
The SPC Guidelines on Puppets state: Scripts must be tastefully presented, avoiding slang, insinuation, questionable language, or references to television, and should be consistent with a Biblical Worldview.
I feel that the International version removes any doubt or dispute.

Why You Need Public Speaking Skills

Have you ever been invited to make a speech or prodded to enter a speech and drama competition? Most of us, horrified at the very idea, would reply, "No way. That's not for me." This is a normal and sensible reaction if you've never had speech or drama training.

In the same way, if you push a soldier armed with a feather duster into the heat of modern warfare, he's not going to be very courageous. However, if you arm him with state-of-the-art weapons and train him how to use them, he will be effective in his mission.*

Are you on a mission to effect change in your life or in the lives of those around you?

If you answered yes, then you'll need to be a communicator. Are you equipped with effective keys to powerful communication? Are you trained in how to use them?

If you answered no to either of the above, watch this video playlist that demonstrates tools that will help empower you to be effective in your mission.
