As Year 12 students approach a particularly demanding period in their final year of school, we acknowledge that they may be feeling tired and potentially unmotivated. The ‘Recharge’ excursions are designed to provide an opportunity for our students to reconnect with one another and recharge their motivation as they begin Unit 4.
On day 1 students will meet at Federation Estate in Ringwood where we will have a guest speaker who will share their insights on resilience, the value of support networks, and persevering through challenging times. Following morning tea students will activity participate in a workshop about coping strategies that they could implement during their remaining time at school as well as in their lives after school. At 12:00pm we will walk from Federation estate to Eastland where students can have lunch with their peers before heading up to Hoyts Cinemas to watch a movie together. Students will be dismissed at approximately 3:30pm from the cinemas at the completion of the film.

Analysing and evaluating a performance: 1984 In this area of study, students focus on the analysis and evaluation of the acting, direction and design in a performance of a production selected from the prescribed VCE Theatre Studies Playlist. Students attend a production selected from the playlist. They study the theatre style(s) evident in the performance and analyse and evaluate how actor(s), director(s) and designer(s) interpret the script for an audience. They consider the interrelationships between acting, direction and design in the performance. In doing so, students consider character(s) in the play, how the actor(s) interpreted them on stage and the contribution of the director(s) and designer(s) to the interpretation and intended meaning(s). They study acting skills used by the actor(s) to portray character(s) to convey the intended meanings of the play and the establishment, maintenance and/or manipulation of the actor–audience relationship. Students’ understanding of the techniques being used by the actor(s), director(s) and designer(s) is informed by techniques they used to interpret the monologue they selected for Area of Study 1. They refine their understanding of the terminology associated with analysing and evaluating theatre performances. |
