Drama
Vision of the Drama Curriculum
Our intent is to provide a curriculum that is engaging and inspiring and as well as educating students about theatre and its history, will develop them as individuals and prepare them to become well rounded members of society. Imagination and creativity will be promoted in a safe and encouraging environment where students can develop the skills to communicate with others and work as part of a team. They will be encouraged to be inquisitive, analyse and question the world around us and foster a sense of pride in their creative abilities; challenging themselves and taking risks in the creation and performance of drama, building confidence in doing so.
