We are so proud of all the boys and girls for their hard work.
Today we have been 'showing racism the red card'. We are talking about ways in which we can combat racism, all the while working to celebrate our differences and rejoice in our unique qualities.
We are so proud of all the boys and girls for their hard work. Mr Herity and his class won a prize at the FÍS awards which were held at the Helix in Dublin last week. This continues a long tradition of success at the awards and cements the school's reputation as a centre for innovative and creative film making and technology supported learning. We are indebted to the boys and girls who have down through the years, produced such high quality films with imaginative story lines and brilliantly drawn characters, themes and ideas. The judges are always high in their praises, given the incredible films the students manage to create. We are also awestruck by the dedication of Mr. Herity, who has invested considerable effort and energy into producing these films each year. The editing process is a lengthy and time consuming affair and involves many hours of re-shoots and sound checks. It is a huge part of the culture of our school now and we are so lucky to be able to offer this facility for film making to our boys and girls.
This year the film produced by Mr Herity used animation, lego, and green screening. The film was called 'Once Upon a Rhyme'. It won 'Best Mixed Media Production Award'. We are very proud of all of our students and teachers for their hard work and dedication and we look forward to more success in the years to follow. Well done to the boys and girls from Rang 6, who participated in the Junior Achievement Ireland awards before Halloween. They have been looking at the world of entrepreneurship, in preparation for the world of work. The future is very bright when we have innovative boys and girls like those that populate Huntstown. They have great ideas about how to improve the world around them and the gumption to work hard to achieve these goals.
They were rewarded for their hard work with an invitation to the HSBC global head office in Grand Canal. Working around the board room table, they shared ideas and imagined how they might contribute to the future of their country and the globe. Thank you to Mr. Burke for coordinating this event. |
