SCHOOL DRAMA AT ARTARMON PUBLIC SCHOOL

Artarmon Public School has luckily been chosen to participate in the School Drama program developed by the Sydney Theatre Company in partnership with The University of Sydney. School Drama has a dual focus. The primary focus is on teacher professional learning through the use of a Teaching Artist who models how to use process drama-based strategies with quality children's literature to improve teaching and learning. The secondary focus is on improving student literacy and engagement.

Four classes are taking part in the school drama program at the moment, across different stages. Over a seven week period, Teaching Artists from the Sydney Theatre Company teach drama alongside classroom teachers.  They model different strategies and empower the teacher to confidently integrate these ideas and strategies into their regular teaching practice. 

Our students love School Drama and they are deepening their understanding of rich texts!
