The main focus of Year 9 Drama includes:
•Exploring various vocal and physical games and exercises.
•Script work.
•Improvisation.
•Understanding a genre, using slapstick in performance.

The specific areas of student development will be teamwork, concentration and spatial awareness, voice, performance skills, confidence building and public speaking.

Where does the course lead?
The Year 9 course leads to Year 10 and NCEA Level 1 Drama in Year 11. It also provides students with valuable communication skills that they will apply confidently in their life outside of school. At senior levels, the students have an opportunity to participate in a production at The Pumphouse Theatre.
Pathway
Disclaimer
Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.
The 2025 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2024. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2025 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
