Yr 9 Drama Curriculum Performance Evening!
Our Yr 9 Drama Curriculum Showcase Performances took place on Monday 23 and Tuesday 24 October in the Drama Studio. Over the past term, Yr 9 Drama students have been working on their performance assessment pieces for their current topic, Docudrama. Students have engaged with the conventions and techniques of Epic Theatre by using newspaper headlines and research into previous historic events to explore an event or issue of their choice. Congratulations to all the students who performed!
A big thank you to the Yr 9 Drama teachers, Sam Novis and Kathryn Smith, for all their efforts and hard work on the Yr 9 Drama Classes and in addition to Sam Novis for organising the Showcase Performance evening.
We are so proud of all the Yr 9 Drama students who performed!
