Statements of intent/context/purpose for all standards
The importance of the role of the statement of context/intention/purpose, as a foundation for decision making and as a benchmark for assessment, means that students need to refine and finalise before assessment, in order to ensure their work reflects them.

Mime in all Drama performance standards
When students are presenting work at Merit level and using Mime in their performance, the ‘Mime’ also needs to be presented skilfully by the student i.e. It needs to be presented purposefully and competently, and the mime action completed to support a Merit award.
Use of props for naturalistic interpretations
When students are doing a largely naturalistic interpretation of their script, they are generally more successful if they use props rather than miming items in the scene.
