A school is showing badly-behaved pupils the error of their ways by sending them to an arts centre where actors mimic their behavior.

The Windsor boys’ secondary school used its school founding to save its local arts centre and establish a learning support unit there.

Now expelled(被开除的) pupils and students who are likely to be expelled are studying a course at the unit in Windsor arts centre while also working with artists. One pupil was asked to show Naomi Jackson, the drama teacher at the unit, how he had acted in a fierce argument with a teacher on the rugby filed, which led to his expulsion(开除). Then he showed her how to imitate(模仿) his attitude.

Ms. Jackson said, “He saw that the teacher had to get him out. Until then, he didn’t really understand because he didn’t have that self-awareness.”

“It gave him the chance to look at himself from the outside.”

Students also work in groups, acting as the aggressor, the victim and an observer to help them develop more awareness and understanding.

A professional theatre group, Everyday Theatre, which consists of former pupils, is at the school and works in the learning support unit.

An arts therapist(治疗专家) also helps students in the unit to express their problems and a street dancer builds up their discipline, concentration and capacity for hard work.

Jane Turner is the teacher in charge of the Starts Project, which stands for Supportive Training and Arts.

She said, “It’s about using the arts to develop social skills as well as anger management, rather than just trying to make them good at drama or arts.”
