Year 8 Drama Workshops with WEYA
On the 18th and 19th May, Year 8 Drama students engaged in workshops, led by artists and performers from Western Edge Youth Arts. The students were reminded in these workshops that this was not an acting lesson, but rather a life lesson. The premise of the workshops focused on three core values: listening, happy failure and making each other look good. Ultimately, through improvisation games and activities, students were taught that we are all here to support each other and that sometimes we may try and we do not succeed but we just have to try again. All students involved should be commended on their engagement and participation during these sessions! As always, we are so grateful to the team at Western Edge Youth Arts for the incredible work that they do with our young people.

Brainstorm Productions 'The Flipside'
On Tuesday 4th May students in years 7, 8 and 9 watched a theatrical performance, 'The Flipside' by Brainstorm Productions. This performance highlighted the importance of personal responsibility, empathy, respect and resilience in the online world. 'The Flipside' challenged students' perspectives on what's humorous, toxic, private, humiliating, informative, safe or appropriate online. The performance encouraged students to think critically about their online behaviour and provided strategies for respectful communication.
