What do Students Have to Say?
“Drama class is always safe and fun. You don’t even realize that you’re doing work while you’re learning!” - Grade 9 Student
“I felt very safe in class and I looked forward to coming to class everyday. I loved presenting plays that I created. I never felt uncomfortable because I always had time to prepare and practice.” - Grade 9 Student
“I am actually excited to come to school each day because drama is so fun. But even though it is fun, we actually learn stuff too.” - Grade 9 Student
“If there is any place in the school where I feel 100% safe, it is drama class. I always feel positive energy in the room and look forward to being in a space in which I can always be myself without feeling judged.” - Grade 11 Student
