Best Acted Film Award

This year our film for our Film in School project is called “Make School Great Again!”.  It involves President Trump, Togher Castle and school! 
It won an award for Best Acted Film at the  FIS Day in the Teachers Centre, Dunmanway held today.   Rachel and Fíonn introduced our film to the audience.   We had a most enjoyable day viewing all the other films.

Trend Micro Visit our School

We were delighted to have representatives of Trend Micro visit our school today.  Avril Ronan, James Maher and Mark Murray presented us with a cheque for €1,000 for winning the “What’s The Story 2017” primary competition this year.

We were delighted to be announced as the winning primary school (8-12 years) in the ‘What’s Your Story’ movie competition for our video “Access Denied” which discussed what we would change about the internet, in particular issues relating to poor broadband, cyber safety and digital age of consent. This video can be viewed on our blog.

With a record number of entries this year to Trend Micro’s video competition, we were thrilled to be announced as category winners for Primary Schools in Ireland. We really appreciated the goody bags each child who participated received which included USB sticks, highlighters and biros.

Award Winning Film

We were delighted to be announced as the winning primary school (8-12 years) in the ‘What’s Your Story’ movie competition for our video “Access Denied” which discussed what we would change about the internet, in particular issues relating to poor broadband, cyber safety and digital age of consent.

Entries to this  video competition to promote online safety, What’s Your Story, have overwhelmingly demonstrated that the Irish youth understand the need for balance in their digital lives. With a record number of entries this year to Trend Micro’s video competition, we were thrilled to be announced as category winners for Primary Schools in Ireland.

Judges of the What’s your Story competition span a diverse range of companies and organisations working in the area of internet safety, media literacy, and technology from organisations like WebWise, Young Irish Film Makers, TY Ireland, ReachOut, Facebook and Twitter.

Also judging the competition, Garry McHugh, Director of Young Irish Film Makers said, “The standard of film making was excellent across the board. The young film makers showed fantastic creativity, strong storytelling and a great sense of humour thrown in. I think we are looking at the next generation of content creators and film makers of Ireland.
