Performing Arts
Our performing arts department is run by our head of Drama, and her team
of specialist performing arts teachers.
We have a strong tradition of Drama and Performing Arts. All our
students, from Reception to Year 8, are provided with one hour of drama
a week. We also offer a Performance studies, which incorporates drama,
dance and music and is specially tailored by our team to cater for our
students' individual talents and aspirations.
We have enjoyed a huge amount of success in this area over the last few
years and we regularly attract students from the other private secondary
schools, keen to study performing arts.
Our dedicated teams also provide one on one audition preparation and
training for students hoping to study drama or dance at higher
education.
At Social Model, we passionately support the notion of offering every
student the opportunity to shine in their chosen area of interest. We
believe performing arts help our students to gain confidence and develop
their team building skills. It also trains them to work to a deadline
and develops both their communication skills and their problem solving
capabilities.
In addition to our curriculum activities we offer a whole range of
extracurricular activities to those students with a passion for
performing arts:
Drama Eisteddfod: We regularly have great success at all ages in the
Drama Eisteddfod, winning classes, platinum certificates and whole group
cups for a variety of disciplines including mime, scripted and dance
drama.
Liturgical Dance: Every second year we perform a liturgical dance at our
feast day on December. The most recent one documented one woman's fight
against breast cancer to the track.
School musical or play: Every second year we put on a musical or play.
They are always a resounding success and a sell-out. Students take
responsibility for lighting, sound, consume design, make up, set design
and creation, program design and development.
House drama and House dance: Our students run these extremely popular
events themselves, with support from our Performing Arts team.
Drama club: We run a junior and a senior drama club where students
practice and develop their talent.
Activities Week: Activities Week offers fantastic opportunities for
drama enthusiasts. We run an 'express production' and a drama trip on
alternate years. The express production involves staging a show in four
days, performing it on the fifth day. |
