Earlier this week, our Year 10 employees took a break
from their filmmaking workshops, and started fulfilling the criteria for their
Bronze Arts Award, including the selection of an Arts Hero.
We were delighted
that Shanay, a participant in La Cinémathèque Française’s ‘Le Cinéma, cent ans
de jeunesse’ film education programme, chose the Lumière Brothers as her Arts Hero(es).
Before Christmas, our Arts Award
candidates will deliver a technical skills tutorial. They will also visit BFI
Southbank to watch and review a film. We look forward to sharing more of their
work before the Christmas holiday.
Congratulations to Year 11 employee Lilly,
who was November’s Employee of the Month; a title she earned by demonstrating
good punctuality, an excellent work ethic, and persistence in the face of
challenging assignments.
This week climaxed with the launch of the BTEC
Art and Design Christmas exhibition at Myatt’s Corner Café next to the Oval
Quarter development. Our Year 10 employees selected and arranged some of their
own creations, as well as work produced by Year 11 employees for Unit 1 of BTEC
Art and Design. The work will be on display throughout December for all visitors
to admire.
