Stones+performance



The Year 9 CLP task is a collabaration between PDHPE, music, drama and ICT. The end "product" will be a performance combining all 4 elements, with the PDHPE topic of "Risk Taking", "Decision", "consequences", "harm minimisation".The stimulus for this unit of work is the performance piece The Stones by Zeal Theatre which students in Year 9 will see on April 30. This will form the springboard into and integrated collaborative learning task. They will then engage in workshops with the performers the following day.
