Sec One Orientation

To all 2013 Secondary One students,

Welcome to Gan Eng Seng School! If you are on this Drama page, allow me to assume that you are interested in joining GESS Drama Club! Do you love to act? Are you finding a platform to showcase your acting talent? Do you like to make/paint props? Are you looking for a CCA who will accept you into their big family? Do you want a CCA with bonded members?  If you're looking for this criterias in a CCA, Drama Club is definitely a suitable choice for you! Our Drama trainings are held every Tuesdays and Fridays! 3pm-6pm, 2.30pm-5.30pm respectively :)

Although acting is what we do mainly, Designing and making of props/moving of props(Crew Work) are essential work required in Drama! During special events such as our R.O.D(Retirement of Duty, an event for graduating seniors), we do dancing, singing, etc performances, for you to showcase your talents! Just like in our CCA Orientation, we had singing and guitar performance too.

We participate in the Singapore Youth Festival every two years without fail and competitions such as Human Values Drama Festival! However, during this competitive period, our trainings would end slightly later at about 7pm and there would even be extra trainings on Thursdays too. It is normal that people have opinions that Drama Club is a slack CCA, however, it is not. It is different from Primary School CCAs. GESS Drama stresses on discipline within the club too. Commitment is a value every Dramarian should possess. If you have a passion on Acting and Theatre, it would definitely not be a problem. We will train you step by step, teaching you the techniques of acting and eventually put you on stage to shine and do us proud!

Therefore, Sec 1s, no matter what CCA you decide to choose, make sure it is something you like, because it would be stuck with you for four years. We may not be the best CCA in the school, but we promise you an utmost fun and awesome journey in GESS Drama! Feel free to approach any Drama members to find out more about Drama!

There are many things that could be broken in GESS Drama Club, but our bonds and spirits will never be broken.
