DRAMA
Our new Subject Leader of Drama, Mr Dameon Garnett, joined St Columba’s in September 2021. What are you most looking forward to, as Subject Leader of Drama at St Columba’s? There’s already a tradition of outstanding productions and musicals at St Columba’s, and I’m looking forward to developing this further. One of my ambitions is to establish Drama as both a curriculum and examination subject, and it’s exciting to see both GCSE and A Level Drama and Theatre emerge on to the timetable, particularly as the College moves to co-education.
What are the benefits of studying Drama? A key benefit is the confidence it can give at interviews and in life generally. Some of my former A Level students have gone on to study at Cambridge, Bristol, Warwick and Imperial, covering a range of subjects from English, Law and Medicine. Their passion for Drama proved to be a huge boost in the interview process and helped them to stand out from other candidates.
