1PM Update - Manaiakalani Film Festival 2020

 

This movie was created by the Year 5&6 Extension group. During lockdown this year, there were daily 1PM updates on the news to inform the public about what was happening and whether there were any new cases of Covid 19. The students had fun taking on the different roles and creating a movie about an issue that has affected us all this year. Thanks for watching!

Gender Equality - Manaiakalani Film Festival 2020

If you are a girl, have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a boy? And if you are a boy, have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a girl? Whether we like it or not, boys and girls are treated differently. Often in the workplace, women are discriminated against because of their gender. Find out more in this movie. Thanks for watching! 

By the way, Zaeeda in Year 8 came up with the idea for our movie. Thanks Zaeeda!
