Drama & Theatre

Through participation in drama and theatre, students develop their creative capacity, learn about their own identity, and develop self-awareness, self-confidence, and a sense of wellbeing.

Learning experiences in drama and theatre involve intense collaboration and creativity developing students ability to engage with the world around them through thoughtful and empathetic artistic expression.   

At Fintona, we seek to encourage in every girl, a love of her own imagination and unique perspective of the world and through drama and theatre communicate this to the world. As a collaborative art form, the study of drama and theatre enables students to share experiences, in a supportive and inclusive environment. Whether it be in the Junior School Drama classroom or on stage in a VCE production, everyone is important and everyone has something to contribute. 

Through diverse drama and theatre learning experiences in the classroom and on stage, Fintona students develop an understanding of the breadth of the artform as creators, actors, directors, designers and members of the audience. This rounded exposure to diverse roles encourages students to develop skills that are specific to the artistic nature of drama and theatre and also those personal skills that will enable them to be successful in whatever pathway they pursue.
