Drama

At Riverstone High School, drama is offered as a taster course and elective. All Year 8 students participate in the Year 8 taster course and we also offer a 1 and 2 year drama elective course.

The aim of drama is to engage and challenge students to maximise their dramatic abilities and enjoyment of drama and theatre through making, performing and appreciating dramatic and theatrical works.
