Recommended Prior Learning

Learners need to understand that they will need to use some literacy skills in this subject and will be required to perform in front of others in a group.


Studying drama equips individuals with a diverse range of valuable skills applicable to various aspects of life. These skills include communication, confidence, teamwork, critical thinking, and creativity, all of which are highly valued in diverse professional careers and jobs - and many aspects of life!

This course also allows for learners to get UNIVERSITY APPROVED LITERACY credits!!! You will have the opportunity to gain 13 UE Reading credits and 4 UE Writing credits!

In this course students will:

  • Learn acting techniques, focusing on different theatre practitioners and theatre forms
  • Participate in a class production on the Auditorium stage with lights, props and costumes
  • Write their own scene of a script and have peers perform it
  • Have lots of fun and gain skills and experience that will be of life long importance! 

Year 12 Drama requires commitment from students to be present at least 90% of the time. This is to ensure we can complete the content of the course, as well as give time to adequately prepare with other for performance assessments.
