Drama provides our students with a medium for exploration, celebration and entertainment. It enables students to understand themselves and the world around them through the examination of contemporary issues and responding to dramatic scripts and performances.

Drama offers broad co-curricular opportunities that compliment the work performed in the classroom and also helps develop life skills they can apply to other situations such as:

• learning to work in a team
• building self discipline and time management
• enhancing personal confidence
• building self esteem
• developing physical coordination
• accepting responsibility for their own progress
• providing the opportunity to be creative and expressive.

When we asked our students how Drama has helped them in other areas of their life, this is what some of them had to say:

• It nurtures a more creative outlook on tasks
• Drama has taken away the nerves from delivering oral presentations.
• Learning the skill of improvisation has given me further confidence in social situations
• I have definitely become more confident in myself and it keeps getting easier to perform in front of people in other subjects such as music or Japanese.
• Public speaking and social skills, as well as being able to easily adapt to unexpected situations.
