Scholarship Drama Examination 2011

The person nominated by your school’s Examination Centre Manager to be the Examination Supervisor for the Scholarship Drama examination will arrange to visit your school in the week before the examination to meet both the Principal’s Nominee and the teacher designated as Waiting-room Supervisor.

The Examination Supervisor will discuss and view arrangements for the examination.  Schools should assist Examination Supervisors to become familiar with performance spaces and recording equipment.

Documents needed by the School and the Examination Supervisor

Documents your school and the Examination Supervisor will need for the scholarship examination for 2011 can be accessed through the Scholarship Drama page or the Scholarship link on the Drama Resource page on the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) website.

These documents are:

Performance Space

• The Performance Space is set up and used by candidates prior to the actual examination so that they can become familiar with it.
• The lighting and recording set up is used and checked at this time to ensure that candidates facial expressions, gestures and the whole performance space is clearly  visible in recorded performances. Candidates should not disappear off screen during the performance.
• If the performance space is elevated, candidates should not move off it or sit with their legs over the edge.
