The first IGCSE Drama Sharing Session was held in CHIJ Secondary (Toa Payoh) on 21 April 2007. It was organized by the Singapore Drama Educators Association (SDEA).

Among the schools that attended the session were, CHIJ Katong Convent, CHIJ St Nicholas Girl’s School, St Margaret’s Secondary, St Anthony’s Convent, Pierce Secondary and Anderson Secondary School. These are schools which are currently offering IGCSE Drama. Also invited were other schools, Ang Mo Kio Secondary and Fajar Secondary, who are considering the possibility of offering drama as a subject in the coming year.

The session saw representatives from the various schools sharing on topics which were pertinent to IGCSE Drama and the Drama Curriculum in schools.

Raphael Meyer, a drama teacher from CHIJ Katong Convent, shared on the expectation on students and teachers when handling Paper One of the IGCSE Examination (Written), while Mr Adrian Wong, from CHIJ St Nicholas Girl’s School shared on the topic of assessment processes in Drama Education.

Drama teachers from CHIJ (Toa Payoh), Mr Richard Armstrong and Ms Miranda Ng, shared on the CHIJ approach to drama at lower secondary. Mrs Regina Lee was also present to shed some light on the school’s stand on drama education and how drama was included as part of the curriculum in CHIJ Secondary (Toa Payoh). Other schools like Anderson Secondary and St Anthony’s Convent also shared on their approach to lower and upper secondary drama.

The session was indeed a fruitful one as a stepping stone for networking between drama educators in Singapore schools.
