Year 10 Drama

Participating in drama fosters Whanaungatanga through strengthening ties in relationships and identity. 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. 

In Year 10 students further develop their understanding and skills in the use of dramatic techniques and elements. They are also introduced to dramatic conventions and theatre forms with a focus on Medieval Miracle and Mystery plays. Drama conventions such as lighting, prop making, and makeup are explored with a hands on approach and, time permitting, students participate in a scripted public performance.

Drama is a fun and challenging way to explore new horizons.
