Incursions

We were very fortunate to have two special guests in our neighbourhood last Wednesday.

Laura Pearse came in to our neighbourhood and presented her incredible VCE media project she created last year. Laura, who is a god-daughter of Julie Effemey, graduated from her high school last year and is currently on a gap year. For her project, she created a film inspired by Jim Henson which incorporated puppets and live action actors. She gave an inspiring talk about her filmmaking journey, through the processes of designing and creating her puppets to storyboarding and directing her wonderful film. It was lovely to see the enthralled faces of our students as they watched the final product at the end.

On the same day, Bruce Kane from Australian Broadcast Cooporation came in to our neighbourhood to show us a funny animated short called "Teach Maths To Your Dog". After the viewing, Bruce received some insightful feedback from our students.

We would like to thank both Laura and Bruce for giving up their time and providing our neighbourhood with rich and exciting presentations.
