Schools Plus Film & animation project 'See Me, Hear Me' |
|
Our school has been successful in receiving a $20,000 grant from Schools Plus to fund an amazing project our year 5/6 classes. We have been funded for 2 years.
This is an exciting project which will teach our students many skills across the curriculum. Students and teachers will learn skills in documentary, film and animation.
This is a unique opportunity for our students to learn from a professional, award winning artist. The project will cultivate storytelling from a student’s perspective, incorporating many different components based on the theme of “See me, Hear me” which will include student driven topics such as friendships, school, sports, family, community, country etc...
The project will expose our year 5/6 students with another way of experiencing success at school. Students will learn these new skills in small groups and will further develop their friendships, creativity, confidence, collaboration and team work, as well as their critical and creative thinking skills.
It is particularly relevant during this time of Pandemic - being emotionally connected and being able to tell your story.
Our project which will run over two years and is headed by Paul Baks (Teacher Lead) and Greta Tucker (Musical Futures Australia Lead) Greta is an award winning documentary maker with many years of experience.
The school has purchased $6000 of fantastic professional cameras, lighting, sound and editing equipment for the project.
Our students will be learning about film and documentary making and also elements of animation.
This is an incredible opportunity for our students and another example of how our school is providing different experiences for students to achieve success and experience wonder and excitement at school.
We will be having a number of film festivals to celebrate and showcase these pieces. Some of our creations will be entered into film festivals. We will upload smaller films and videos created by students into our bellevuetube channel.
