SPEECH AND DRAMA AS A TOOL FOR LEARNING

At Lorna Whiston Schools, Speech and Drama is harnessed as a tool for learning as it involves the students emotionally, physically, intellectually and socially. Often, students struggle with communicating confidently because they are uncomfortable with the situation, the space they are in, the audience and perhaps even the sound of their voice. Nerves get the better of every public speaker or performer who does not feel in control of themselves or their environment.

Speech and Drama offers the opportunity for students to gain awareness and mastery over the use of their bodies and voice.

Over time, students learn to adapt to the physical environment that they are in to become more confident communicators.
