This year House Music and Drama will be during the Patana Student Convention which is Monday 25^th June to Wednesday 27^th June.  The performance is therefore limited to students from Y7 to 10, although students from Y11 to 13 can still get involved as directors if you wish. 

Each day is split into 3 sessions so the timetable for the House Music and Drama during PSC is as follows.

You can see that we’ve carefully timetabled it so that…

·         You can take part in both House Drama and House Music if you wish

·         You can take part in House Music and Drama even if you also are already involved with the Y7+8 Drama Club ECA

·         You can take part and still go on a trip – we’ve left Tuesday completely free

·         You can take part and still sign up for lots of other fun activities too

More information about the rest of PSC will be coming out to you soon but we need to start the sign up process for House Music and Drama straight away so that we’ve got time to get ourselves organised.
