Pictured - Parks - 2020 House Drama winners
It’s that time of year again when excitement builds ahead of the annual House Drama competition! The annual event involves Year 7s working with Lower Sixth students to produce and perform a play at our House Drama Festival, which will take place on Tuesday 12th October, 3:00-5:15pm.
An opportunity to collaborate, to be creative and be slightly off-script, House Drama is always one of the highlights of the year in the Senior School. The students take full responsibility for every aspect of the production and the experience of working together during rehearsals fosters a wonderful sense of teamwork across Year 7 and the Lower Sixth.
Given five weeks to prepare for the competition, each House play is performed by Year 7s, with students from the Lower Sixth cast as script writers and directors!
Last year, Parks stood out most; their performance of Snow White was very creative and moved away from the traditional story.
Mrs Axford, Assistant Head with responsibility for Experiential Learning and the House System, reflected: "The Lower Sixth have done a wonderful job writing some very imaginative and humorous plays. It is wonderful to see the Year 7s building friendships and growing in confidence with each rehearsal."
