In Year 9, Drama students will be given opportunities to refine their knowledge and skills to present drama as an event, by safely using processes, techniques and conventions of drama. Students develop drama based on devised drama processes and appropriate, published script excerpts (e.g. Australian drama pre-1960 or world drama), using selected drama forms and styles. Student work in devised and scripted drama is the focus of reflective and responsive processes supported through scaffolded frameworks using drama terminology and language.
Drama forms and styles for Year 9: melodrama, neoclassical drama, multi-formed devised drama, commedia dell’arte or Kabuki theatre.
Prerequisites:
A “C” grade or better in Year 8 Arts and English.

Students can complete Drama in Year 10, leading up to either General or ATAR pathways in Year 11 and Year 12 Drama.
