	High School Shows - Futures " Great way of showing non-verbal theatre skills and raising awareness of difference and disability." Prince Alfred College, NSW Face Value - BRAND NEW SHOW FOR 2008 People’s attitudes are influenced by others and manipulated by the media. According to the Board of Senior School Studies, the only compulsory subject is English. If a subject like ‘Society and Culture’ was compulsory, all Australian students would leave school with a standard understanding and fairer attitude towards society, especially minority groups. It is disheartening to find such terms like “deaf + dumb” and “handicapped” are still being used today. This story is delivered through the eyes of a deaf teenager and his experiences of dealing with hearing people who project prejudice and intimidation towards him. We aim to highlight the repercussions of stereotyping and give students an awareness about judging individuals. Students will appreciate the importance of recognising, acknowledging and respecting the individual.
