DRAMA

Scotch College Junior School offers a unique educational experience in Drama.  All students have an opportunity to participate in Drama Workshops especially designed to develop artistic imagination, capacity for self expression, creativity, physical control, self confidence, self discipline, critical evaluation and both verbal and non verbal skills.  A wide variety of age appropriate activities allow students to develop their skills in a supportive and affirming environment.

The Drama Course allows the students to develop skills in both verbal and non-verbal communication, movement, mime, dance and character development.  Through a range of skill-based workshops, students will spontaneously develop skills in group work, co-operation, problem solving, teamwork, self discipline and self reflection.  Within a structured framework they are encouraged to be engaged imaginatively and creatively in order to shape ideas into improvised dramatic presentations. Although we employ theatrical skills and techniques, it is the process of learning to work creatively with a view to exploring and developing life skills that is paramount.

The concept of establishing an actor/audience relationship is gradually introduced as an age appropriate activity.  To this end, the concept of “the actor in performance” arises naturally from the program and is formally addressed as an opportunity to participate in public performances as the boys move through Junior School. 

In Term 1 students in Grades 5 & 6 had the opportunity to participate in the production of The Adventures of Stuart Little held at the James Forbes Academy at the end of Term.
