DRAMA

The Drama Department’s Co-Curricular activities, that take place outside the classroom offer participants invaluable skills which are transferable across both academic curriculum and beyond. Becoming a member of the Senior Drama Company or one of our clubs will not only be an extremely enjoyable experience that you will remember long after you have left the college, but will equip individuals with a variety of skills. Members can hope to gain the following skills: self-confidence, team-work, commitment, imagination, empathy, cooperation, concentration, communication skills, public speaking, memory, physical fitness and an appreciation for the arts and culture. So what are you waiting for? Sign up today…

This is a non-auditioned club open to all pupils in S1 and S2 who have an interest and commitment to Drama. This club may appeal to pupils who would like to be involved in performance outside the classroom in S1, or to those who were unable to choose Drama as an option in S2. This club will give its participants the perfect opportunity to maintain and develop their Drama and performance skills. Members will work as an ensemble on a scripted play, culminating in a public performance at the Performing Arts Showcase in the Spring Term.

So if you act, dance, or want to be involved backstage, come and join the fun!

We are delighted to build on the success of the new S3 Drama Club which was founded last year, exclusively for S3 pupils. This club is inclusive and pupils are not required to audition to join.

Members will acquire and develop a range of Drama skills with particular focus on creating characters for performance, culminating in a public performance at the Performing Arts Showcase in the Spring Term. So if you act, dance, or want to be involved backstage, come and join the fun!
