Performing Arts

Teacher: Rhece Hopkins

Semester One 2021 - Drama

The whole school focus for Semester One of Performing Arts will be Drama.

During Term 1, the focus of Performing Arts at Mernda Park is for students to develop a love of performing whilst also learning skills and concepts in the areas of music, singing, dance. Our program has a strong emphasis on student engagement through activities and games. Students explore mime, role plays, puppetry, and improvisation skills through dramatic play, scenarios and experimentation.
