Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr M. Buick.
This is a course for students who are interested in developing their communication skills. The Level 1 NCEA Drama course is based around a range of Drama skills and techniques including: devising and developing understanding of drama forms; performing in front of an audience; use of theatre technologies. Students will be encouraged to view and take part in performance opportunities outside of the classroom.

Assessment Information
91942 requires that students perform a role in a production for an audience. This will be either a short play or scene from a longer play. It is likely the performance will take place on an evening in Term 3 so that an audience of friends and family can attend. Students will be given ample warning of this. However, if the play chosen suits a younger audience, or COVID levels are not permitting, it will be performed during school hours.Disclaimer
Southland Boys' High School endeavours to timetable courses depending on students' needs, interests and future plans. Many factors can influence whether a course is able to be offered in the following year. These can include:
- Student demand
- Staff availability
- Resourcing
These factors can also impact on timetabling, and as a result students will be asked for input about any clashes that may occur.
Where a course is not able to be run, students' back-up subjects will be used. If there are issues with student selections and the timetabling process, students will have the opportunity to make a decision in conjunction with staff input on the best solution.
