In November Speech & Drama students participated in their ASCA Exams. These exams promote and assist in the development of oral communication, drama, poetry, reading and listening skills in a formal performance setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We thank our hardworking examiners Dr Paul March and Carolyn Mackenzie who assessed and gave encouraging feedback to the students. The students gave entertaining poetry and drama performances, speech presentations and book readings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you also to the audience of parents and visitors who attended and took part by asking questions or commenting at the appropriate\u00a0times, these impromptu exchanges aid in the development of\u00a0realistic and natural\u00a0communication which benefits\u00a0the speaker.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our aims of the Speech & Drama program include building students’ confidence and\u00a0self-esteem through drama, promoting an enjoyment of\u00a0language in all its forms, developing\u00a0vocal and physical skills of students, whose speech is clear, colourful and\u00a0individual, and developing fluency and clarity of\u00a0speech for effective oral communication. Articulation, voice,\u00a0pronunciation and rhythm of speech skills are extended and developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition we promote and foster an\u00a0enjoyment of reading, an\u00a0understanding\u00a0of communication skills, as well as nurturing creativity and thinking\u00a0skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to our Speech & Drama teachers, Emily Pollard & Charlotte Hazzard, who teach the students and have done a fantastic job preparing the students!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
