The Outlook for Someday Awards 2012

On Wednesday night (5th December) the Outlook for Someday Awards 2012 was held at the Aotea Centre, Auckland City. Twenty winning film making teams out of 190 entries walked down the red carpet to receive their awards.

We are proud to say that our school won the Tagata Pasifika Award which was awarded to a film by a Pasifika film-maker or team and/or featuring Pasifika language or culture. Our movie was called 'Lost Paradise' and it was about the effects of global warming in the Pacific.

Well done to Makerita, Shoal and Kingston for receiving the award on the teams behalf (which includes Toreka and Selena). Thank you to the teachers and parents who attended for their support. A big HUGE thank you to the Outlook for Someday organisers and Tagata Pasifika for the cool prizes.

Room 21 on Tagata Pasifika

We were lucky enough to be interviewed by Tagata Pasifika last week. It was a chance to talk about how talented many of our Pt England students are at making movies. A snippet of last year's winning entry in 'The Outlook for Someday' movie competition was included, as well as some thoughts from Selena and Toreka about our intention to enter this years competition. Anyone up to the age of 24 can enter a movie about 'sustainability' and this is the first time that Tagata Pasifika is sponsoring an award. The deadline for entries is September 21st.
