Speech and Drama

Congratulations to all students who recently participated in the Speech and Drama Showcase. Students from K- 4 prepared an evening of dramatic scenes and poetry to share with family and friends. After a fantastic term of classes it was wonderful to see students put their communication skills into practice and to entertain with confidence, power and poise.  This term, some students had also participated in the Hawkesbury Eisteddfod. Del Monte returned impressive results with all participants receiving an award in their category.

As students head into Term 4 they are busy preparing for Speech and Drama Exams through the Australian Speech and Communication Association. These exams give broad exposure to a variety of communication styles and help develop oral communication and listening skills in educational and social spheres. It has been an inspiring term witnessing the growth and development of all students and as we head into our final term for the year it is important to remember:

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
