Creativity and Imagination
In a world where one’s ability to store information or to learn things by rote is becoming obsolete, it is essential that we foster an educational setting in which students have the opportunity to develop the skills and talents that will be considered highly prized assets in the future market. Creativity and imagination are coming to the forefront as integral to the success of the next generation of global citizens.
Creative Enquiry and Expression
The Ruyton Drama programme at both junior and senior levels strives to provide students with a multiplicity of avenues in which to explore and develop creative enquiry and expression. Skills acquisition and an understanding of effective communication are embedded into the curriculum to assist students in presenting their ideas in engaging and innovative formats. A growing knowledge of performance history and ritual encourages an understanding of the Performing Arts and their importance in our cultural identity. Every year level is provided with the means to experiment with tools of expression which in turn aids them in defining, testing and shaping their beliefs. Through the very act of stepping into someone else’s shoes, students acquire a deeper sense of empathy and what it is to be human in all its infinite shapes, colours and states.
