Speech and Drama
Applied Learning Programme/Life-Long Learning Programme
Our Speech and Drama ALP/LLP is conducted over 6-8 hours to build self-expression and confidence through drama and play-making.
Values through Drama
Students will be guided through the programme to create thought-provoking scenes, using dialogue and physicality to learn school values and principles.
​
Confidence in Communication
Everyone has a part to play. Students work together to form a final product.
Our programme builds teamwork, confidence, expression, and social interaction skills.
​
Creative Problem Solving
Through the exploration of ideas and crafting their own scenes, students solve social problems that they identify. This helps them to develop a sense of pride in their own work, and understand the amount of work that goes into creating a performance.
​
AIMS
This programme culminates in students creating their own playlets as a stamp of:
​
1) ownership of the work
2) Self-expression through theatre
​
These playlets will be performed in an Inter-class Drama Festival as part of the programme. Beyond the Drama Festival, students will also be assessed, given certificates and have their pieces filmed so that there can be a concrete and tangible outcome of this process that students can bring home.
