Dramatics

Provides a platform to channelised the untapped potential of budding artists in dramatics.  At Xavier’s drama fulfils student’s psychological needs of free expression and imagination, builds their characters, and finally through stories leads them to perform for an audience.

Drama enables the development and understanding of the self as well as the exploration of self in relation to others. It helps the development of critical empathy for fellow humans and towards the natural, physical and social worlds.Through drama/street-plays students are given opportunity to create their own dramas and attend plays presented by others also bringing about social awareness through street-plays. Through this medium of learning, students are transported to worlds past, present, and future — the ultimate in virtual reality.

Dance

Dance is a way to express to express ones emotion and feelings.Our dance program is designed to give students an introduction to the basics of social dance.Dancing is a fun, physical activity that students of all ages can enjoy doing throughout their lives. Certainly learning to dance benefits cognitive and psychomotor development, but just as importantly social dancing contributes to the affective domain of learning by teaching students.The class are often taught a dance routine that they build upon over a number of weeks.  This helps to develop co-ordination, technique, performance skills and the capacity for movement memory.  Sometimes these routines are performed in assembly or in front of parents at the end of the term.
