Global Schools Film Competition

The Global schools film competition 2016 is organised by the Department of Education and Training (DET) for students from state schools and After Hours Ethnic Schools (AHES).

The film competition:

  • makes language study relevant and exciting for students.
  • provides an opportunity for students to use their language to communicate for a purpose.
  • showcases students’ teamwork and media abilities.

 

The competition has two categories for primary and secondary students.

  • Primary students produce a digital presentation entitled ‘Hanging out with friends’. This could be set in any context where students interact with friends – real, virtual or entirely imaginary.
  • Secondary students produce a digital presentation entitled ‘Talking to you about…’ This could be set in any context with a clearly-focused topic which must be added to the title e.g. Talking to you about happiness.

Process

  • Students work in teams of no more than 5 to develop a multimedia product on the topic.
