Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr M. Buick.

Recommended Prior Learning

Whilst is it recommended that students have taken Level 1 Theatre Technologies, they can start at Level 2.

This is a course for students interested in 'behind the scenes' roles that are needed to stage Performing Arts productions.  The Level 2 NCEA Theatre Tech course is based around a range of skills and technologies including: lighting; sound; costume design; make-up; props.  In particular we study how these creative elements are communicated.  Much of this course is hands on and requires a commitment to participate in performances outside of school hours.  Students are rostered onto Sound, Lighting and AV duties for weekly school assemblies.  For those interested in gaining an endorsement, an optional Technology External is available.  Students will be encouraged to view performance and take part in opportunities outside of the classroom.  Technical skills are widely sought after in both community and professionally.

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:
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.
