COLLEGE College Quarterly M a g a z n e Year 12 Pe:dorm.ance Evening Susan Le May as Myra Hind/ey. The Year 12 Drama students recently performed their original shows as a 'swansong' drama performance for the course's final assessment. The students were required to develop, draft, script and perform a fully realised solo or duo drama production: they had to evolve, investigate and research the subject, write a script, rehearse and refine the piece and design the appropriate theatrical devices (such as set, lighting, sound and music) to create an original piece of theatre for an audience - a challenging tasb, to say the least. Undaunted, this year's students developed some wonderful theatre around the lives of such diverse characters as Flora MacDonald, Myra Hindley, the Marx Brothers and Dora Marr, immortalised by Picasso as the Weeping Woman. I was particularly pleased with the detailed research carried out by students this year, and by the creative shaping of the material to produce innovative theatre.

The art programme is designed so that each year level experienc s as wide a range of media as possible. The students are able to build on their skills and knowledge of these media in areas such as drawing with pencils, pastels and chalks, painting with acrylic and watercolour, threads and textiles, sculpture, print-making, puppet- and mask-making and ceramics.
