Drama

In a society in which effective communication is vital, the study of drama develops verbal and nonverbal, individual and group communication skills which are skills for living.
Drama enhances students’ artistic and creative abilities and gives them a better understanding of themselves and their world.

Through an exploration of drama contexts relating to identity, societies,
cultures, ideologies, gender, time and change, students are able to become more critically reflective members of society.
In Drama students are able to explore intellectual, social, physical, emotional and moral domains through learning which involves thought, feeling and action.
Drama fosters self discipline, confidence and team work and develops skills in interpreting, researching, negotiating, problem solving and decision making.
