Drama

Drama has great value beyond acting. While some students intend to make a career in drama and related fields, students also participate in Drama for enjoyment and satisfaction. Through Drama, students experience pleasure that comes from developing personal skills, knowledge and understandings that can be transferred to a range of careers and situations. Drama builds confidence, self-esteem, empathy, communication, understanding about human experience and a sense of identity and belonging. These are invaluable qualities for contemporary living.

In the Drama course, students work independently and collaboratively. They learn time management skills and are encouraged to show initiative and demonstrate leadership and interpersonal skills. Drama requires students to develop and practice problem solving skills through creative and analytical thinking processes.

In first semester, Years 7 to 10 will be working towards public performances of scripts. During this term, Year 9 students will be performing for Open Day. Also during this term, students involved in the College Musical, Wicked are rehearsing.  At the end of this term, Year 12 Drama students will be going to Melbourne and working with the Victorian College of the Arts for a series of workshops. Next term the College Musical will be performed. Later in second term the Junior and Senior House Theatre Sports competitions will be held as well as Drama Nights. Also next term auditions will be held for the Year 8/9 play, that will be performed in Term 3.
