CCA Description
In English Drama, students will have the opportunity to present and showcase their skills in the art form through school-based or external performances. In addition, senior students will be able to demonstrate their skills to coach the junior students.

Through props and costume making, students will be able to relate aesthetically and cognitively to the contexts of the art work.
Through improvisation and script-writing, students will explore and experiment multiple perspectives, reassess personal attitudes towards the different themes and incorporate feedback and responses from peers and teachers in order to refine a performance.
