Drama is a pupil-centred activity focusing on individual response and development. Through drama, we seek to enhance personal skills by developing communicative ability, self-confidence, versatility and the ability to cope with unforeseen and challenging situations.

The study of Drama should be an enriching, enjoyable and satisfying experience and, to this end, the Drama Department at St Margaret Mary’s Secondary School provides a secure and stimulating environment where our pupils can work with our widely experienced staff in an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect.

In Drama, pupils are engaged in collective enquiry and exploration. Learning occurs through negotiation, co-operation, participation, presentation, interaction and evaluation. By acting out roles and situations, pupils, as well as gaining in self-confidence, develop a greater understanding and knowledge of real life issues, events,
situations and relationships.
