Jordan has been working with a group of enthusiastic dramatists in his Performing Arts Korowai. As Bottom, from A Midsummer Night's Dream, he is pictured here practicing with Dyon as King of the Fairies.

They are busy preparing a piece for the Sheilah Winn Shakespeare competition. Jordan has a sense of humour suited for the role and enjoys the role of Bottom because of the 'jokes he can use from the piece'. They have worked as a group on refining their performance: with both on stage and back of stage roles. They have worked with lots of great feedback from Murray, one of our student teachers here at the moment, with years of dramatic experience. This a fantastic example of how collaboration is used to support and promote learning here at Haeata.

As well as the opportunity to represent the school at a competition that runs throughout the country, this is great evidence for success in his Drama NCEA studies.
