DANCE

Learners explore dance across time, cultures, and communities. They participate in a whole school end-of-year concert, performing a class dance on stage. Some classes choreograph their performances with teacher support.

DRAMA

Learners use their imaginations to create new possibilities and connect ideas within stories, settings, and characters. They use facial expressions, body movements, and voices to represent characters.

Learners explore building characters through and for drama. They develop an understanding of voice, body, movement, and character. They perform short, improvised scenes both individually and collaboratively.

Learners experiment with various physical, vocal and movement choices to develop characters. They perform improvised and scripted drama both individually and collaboratively.

MEDIA ARTS

They describe how media arts are used to continue and revitalise cultures. Students use media languages, and media technologies and production processes to construct representations in media arts works for specific purposes and audiences.
