In Year 13 Drama, we are offering 17 UE Credits from 13 internally assess credits, and 4 externally assessed credits. In addition to this, there are 38 optional enrichment credits available (8 unit standards), however these enrichment standards are not all up for grabs. They are there for the students who wish to forgo some performance standards and instead focus on the backstage work.

*N.B Drama is largely a group based subject.  Your group's success is dependent on your attendance and commitment to the class.
