Speech & Drama

 
“Like theatre, drama in schools can unlock the use of imagination, intellect, empathy and courage. Through it, ideas, responses and feelings can be expressed and communicated. It carries the potential to challenge, to question and to bring about change.”

Jude Kelly (theatre director)
The Drama Department in Alexandra College is a vibrant and growing department with many activities and events throughout the school year. Students can choose between taking Speech and Drama classes, joining The Drama Club, taking the Drama module in Transition Year, doing Effective Communication as a TY module or taking part in local and national Public Speaking Competitions. Those who take classes in Speech and Drama can also take part in our annual Festival of Poetry and Drama, get involved in The One Act Drama Festival in St. Andrews College and enter twice yearly exams in a number of different disciplines.
