All students in Year 7,8 and 9 have one drama lesson per fortnight.  In these lessons they will cover basic stage skills and conventions covering topics such as bullying and peer pressure through improvisation and script work.  From September 2009 Years 7 and 8 will be able to choose stage skills as an option on their EEL timetable, where they can explore the subject in more detail including costume, make-up and technical elements such as lighting and sound.
