Students continue from Grade 11 and develop their work. Emphasis is placed on an integrated relationship between studio work and investigation work. Students explore art, craft and design traditions from past and present cultures and in local, national and international contexts. They produce investigation and art works that show their understanding of conceptual content, technical skill and critical awareness. The examination evaluates the process and products of artistic investigation and development.

Theatre (12)
Theatre is a composite art that is forever evolving in new forms. It is the application of energy and imagination to frame, reflect, expose, critique and speculate. Activities will engage and develop the sensibilities of all the students who participate in them. The Diploma Programme Theatre course is designed to encourage students to examine theatre in its diversity of forms around the world. This may be achieved through a critical study of the theory, history and culture of theatre, and will find expression through workshopping, devised work or scripted performance. Students will come to understand that the act of imagining, creating, presenting and critically reflecting on theatre in its past and present contexts embodies the individual and social need to investigate and find explanations for the world around us.
