Drama

Sunshine Drama's creative lessons and activities are carefully devised to best meet the needs and interests of children.

Classes provide students with opportunities to build confident communication, performance and social skills as they engage in a range of activities in a positive, cooperative and enthusiastic environment that's full of imagination and fun!

Children will be challenged to extend themselves as creative thinkers, learning to think outside the box as they explore the elements, techniques and conventions of drama.

During the year students have the opportunity to present to an audience, either sharing games/activities that have been taught to develop a specific skill, or perform scripted or devised plays.

Classes progress from each age group, building and extending knowledge in the below learning areas.
