The Arts Scope and SequenceYear 1 Syllabus
The syllabus is based on the requirement that all students will study at least two of the five Arts subjects from Pre-primary to Year 8. It is a requirement that students study a performance subject and a visual subject.
Year Level Description
In Year 1, learning in Drama builds on the dispositions of learning developed in the early years.
Students explore personal experiences to create drama and develop improvisation skills. They are introduced to the element of role and continue to experiment with voice and movement to create their drama.
Students experience the roles of performers and audience members, learning performance skills and audience behaviour. They have the opportunity to explore the different places where drama is performed.
As they make and respond to drama, students explore the key moments in drama they view and make.

Students outline their feelings about key moments of voice, movement and other aspects in their own performance and the performance of others. They outline different places where drama is performed and some of the functions of these uses.
