Drama

The stage is like a second home to many of our students - and our Drama Department champions acceptance, creativity, confidence and individuality.

St George's offers a comprehensive Drama program in which students learn the fundamentals of acting, voice and movement as well as the technical skills required to put on a successful production. 

Students frequently use their own time, before, during and/or afterschool, to develop their practical and written application and to simply "hang out", building the inclusive community at the school. 

From classes to lunchtimes and site-specific showcase performances, students have many opportunities to showcase their creativity to their peers, friends, family and the wider community.

Whether it's a classic play or an original production, the drama department strives to bring something new and exciting to the stage while cultivating a safe learning environment.

Drama can be studied at university entrance level in Senior School.
