SCHOOL DRAMA HUB
TAKE SCHOOL DRAMA TO THE NEXT LEVEL
"I really enjoyed working with experienced colleagues and I've been able to take what I learned straight into my classroom. My students thoroughly enjoyed the new activities and were able to get a richer understanding of texts." Joanne Daly, Templestowe Park Primary School
School Drama Hub provides opportunities for primary teachers to build their skills in integrating Drama and Arts-rich approaches across the curriculum and develop their teaching artistry. In 2021, a series of School Drama Hub workshops will focus on particular areas of interest to our teaching community. Each session is a practical workshop, showcasing interactive strategies that you can take into your classroom straightaway. We recommend all participants have either participated in School Drama Classic (the 7 week artist-in-residence model) and/or are familiar with The School Drama Book.
Please note, due to COVID-19 restrictions in Greater Sydney, School Drama Hub will be postponed. Please keep an eye on this page for updates and new date announcements.
