Combat for Year 9s
The Year 9 Drama class has just finished a four-week stage combat course with Nastassja Norwood from Stage Combat Perth.
The girls were taught a choreographed sequence using stage swords. This program is designed to teach the girls new performance skills and build confidence in performance. Â They will pair this staged combat choreography with a Shakespearean death scene in Year 9 Drama this term as part of their assessment.
Year 9 student Jaymie Clark said, “It’s been a really enjoyable experience. It isn’t something I would have expected to do in Drama, I felt really powerful. It’s been a really fun experience.”
The Value of Student Voice – Jennifer Oaten
“At Santa Maria College, we are not only given the opportunity, but we are encouraged by our teachers and each other to voice our opinions, concerns and ideas—to continue moving forward as a school and as a community. Student voice is integral for growth, and allows for us, as students to have an active role in shaping our education.”
