13DRA

Level 3 Drama

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs T. Dellaway.

Through Drama, students at all levels have the opportunity to extend their skills and knowledge in a range of situations and settings. 

Participating in Drama fosters Whanaungatanga through strengthening ties in unity and community. It is a way of developing an understanding of where we come from, who we are, and where we could journey, through the exploration of self identity, community identity, and national identity. 

Drama grows personal and social confidence as well as supporting literacy skills, leadership skills, and relational skills. It develops a sense of Manaakitanga, whilst acquiring strong communication, analytical, and performance related skills, many of which are sought after in the workplace. Drama is a fun and challenging way to explore new horizons.

Recommended Prior Learning

Level 2 Drama is strongly recommended or in consultation with TiC - Mrs Dellaway.
