This site is intended for Heads of Department (HODs) or teachers
responsible for drama in New Zealand secondary schools. Drama
departments vary in size and scope from one–teacher
units attached to English departments, to big departments
with six or seven teachers operating as part of larger arts
faculties.
Because increasing numbers of students are opting for drama
as a year 9–13 subject, it is the fastest growing senior
secondary subject.
This Handbook site provides information
to assist all drama HODs with programme planning, assessment,
productions, resources, and departmental policy and responsibilities.
There are links to relevant sites including information on
NCEA.
This material was collected by a team of secondary drama
facilitators from drama teachers and HODs throughout New Zealand.
It was collated by Christine Morgan, secondary drama advisor
with Team Solutions for Tai Tokerau.
