As part of another MaD Council initiative, last week students have been really helpful with their donations for the charity ‘Impact HK’ with a mask and food drive. Well done to everyone who donated unopened packages of surgical face masks, reusable face masks, and hand sanitisers for the Mask Drive, and those who gave individually packaged food items, juice boxes, and food vouchers for the food drive!
Students are currently completing their Unit of Inquiry into Medieval Music where they have explored how composition is structured through performance and composition activities.
Year 7 and 8 MYP design students have been making bag tags to express their individuality. Many of the students used conductive thread and soft switches to sew an electronic circuit to light up LED’s on their tags. They learnt hand sewing skills and electronics and had lots of fun.
Congratulations to our amazing Year 12 BTEC Creative Media students on their successful multi-camera studio production ‘Southside Singrays’ broadcasted live to classrooms last Friday. Southside Singrays’ aims to bring smiles to the South Island School community, lighten everyone’s mood, and remind us of the importance of smiling for our wellbeing through the magic of music. Using a light entertainment programme format, the show includes a live music performance, mystery masked singers, and a music-themed game. Please have a look at the final production below:
Last Friday BTEC Art and Design students visited a printing press to print their logo designs. Students have been working on a project to design branding for a streetwear company, and they sent their logos off to be etched onto metal plates ready to be printed for their swing tags. Students experienced the hands-on process of using a letterpress machine to print their logos, which was a fun and informative learning experience!
