10DRA (Drama)
Year 10 Drama runs for two terms. The course aims to further students’ skills of confidence, personal awareness, trust and co-operation. Students will explore a range of performance techniques including movement, dance, body and spatial awareness, mime, voice and improvisation. Students investigate the Theatre form of Mask and construct their own mask creating an original Mask character. Finally students work with scripts, explore rehearsal processes and perform short dramas to an invited audience in an evening showcase performance.
The program hopes to increase student’s familiarity with the language of drama in preparation for NCEA as well as and their confidence and willingness to perform for an audience.

10MUS (Music)
10MUS (Music)
The Year 10 Music programme focuses on building musical knowledge and preparing students for the NCEA music course and will be divided into three main areas: Listening, Theory and Performance.
Listening: By listening to successful artists, students will learn musical patterns, themes, and techniques to create a high quality performance. By researching the social history of musicians, students can gain an understanding of the place music holds in time in a society, and how it can consolidate, teach and create change for the better.
Theory: By learning the notation, chord structures and textures of music, students learn the written language of music and how it has developed and changed over the centuries, enabling them to further develop their understanding of the music they are listening to.
Performance: All students will choose an instrument and learn the necessary skills to play within a group, duet or individually. They will investigate a range of songs which they will practise to performance stage in order to develop their confidence and musicianship.
All students in Year 10 Music are strongly encouraged to study an instrument with a music tutor outside of class to gain the necessary skill level.
