Congratulations Year 11 GCSE Drama students!

Last week Year 11 GCSE Drama students at MGGS completed their final practical exams!  This means that 60% of their GCSE is now complete. Rehearsals for Component 3:Texts in Practice began in early January.  Each student worked as part of a group to stage two 10-20 minute extracts from a range of different plays. Each play chosen had its own unique challenges and all of them dealt with sensitive and thought-provoking topics.  Students not only had to learn lines, they had to direct one another, plan, design and organise their set, props, costumes, lighting and sound.  This is no mean feat, it requires commitment, perseverance and creativity.

Year 11 GCSE Drama students have worked extremely hard over the last few months, often giving up lunchtimes and staying after school. Well done, the hours of rehearsal paid off! 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank parents/carers who have probably been helping students learn lines at home and those students who supported Year 11 by doing their sound and lighting.  Now back to the written paper!
