Content
In Drama, students develop their creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and communication skills. They refine their literacy, numeracy, ethical understanding and intercultural understanding and develop self-belief and self-confidence.
Students view and review performance eloquently throughout this course. By creating a performance, students learn to engage meaningfully with others. Through focused, collaborative, practical learning opportunities, students refine their skills and increase their confidence as communicators by creating live, multimodal, oral, and written products.

Assessment
Group production 40%
- Task 1: Students participate in a live group performance in an on-stage or off-stage role. Individual assessment as an on-stage performer or presentation about an offstage role - 15 minutes minimum stage time each.
- Task 2: After the production, each student assembles and presents evidence of their learning and skills development in a short video essay or documentary.
Evaluation and creativity 30%
- Task 1: Students view two live performances and, whilst reviewing the productions, reflect and evaluate how the live performances will inform their own practice in an on or offstage role (1000 words)
- Task 2: Each student develops a concept (or vision) as director, designer, actor or producer of their hypothetical production of our shared text (6-minute presentation)
Creative Presentation 30%
- Part 1: Students form groups of two to five and collaborate to conceive, plan and produce a creative dramatic presentation.

Students can choose from roles in their group, including actors, designers, directors, filmmakers, and scriptwriters. (10-20 minutes)
