Drama One – In this role-play a Transition Year Student called James Murphy, son of Kevin and Maureen Murphy, is called to the school office. His teachers have raised some concerns regarding this bright pupil. Mr Brown, the school principal of St. Aidan’s College, a Catholic School, has called James to his office for a chat. The conversation results in calling his parents to the school office.

Time-poverty and materialism can get in the way of family but there is the will to do something constructive about it.
