Drama in Year 10 is very hands-on. We get really involved in the activities exploring lots of different areas of drama such as physical theatre and script analysis. It is such a supportive class where we all work well together. Lauren Davidson
Suitable for students who may wish to study ATAR Drama as well as those who just enjoy performing and increasing their confidence and voice and movement skills. Many students choose to study ATAR Drama after completing this course as they realise they are strong at performance and can enhance their ATAR by studying a course they are enthusiastic about and are good at. Few will go on to be actors or performers but many of our ex-students now use their Drama communication skills in careers such as Physio, Teaching, Nursing, Medicine or Journalism.
