Scholarship Drama

New Zealand Scholarship provides recognition and monetary reward to top students in their last year of schooling. New Zealand Scholarship assessments enable candidates to be assessed against challenging standards, and are demanding for the most able candidates in each subject. Drama scholarship is comprised of a portfolio of three recorded performances with oral justifications, one impromptu, one devised and one text-based, with supporting evidence.  

The entire portfolio is graded holistically across three criteria: 

• the integration of drama techniques, 
• a critical analysis of drama processes 
• and the application of drama theory.

Students are supported in their progress across the course of the year, with teacher-led workshops developing specific aspects of the portfolio.
