Digi Ed has had a very busy start to the new financial year. We have had two presenters travelling from Moree to Bega as part of a Country Area Program Tour called LandsCAPe. We have worked with students on Claymation movies set in their home town and have developed quite an array of short films. The movies highlight how regional NSW is made up of different environments from the Desert to Sea and the Snow.
Digi Ed is pleased to announce the formation of the Performers in Schools website. The NSW Department of Education has recently cancelled its Performance in Schools Program. Digi Ed has decided to run its own program and at this early stage, has 26 performers signed up to take part. When we start we should have over 60 performances for you to explore. This website will allow teachers to find performers suitable for their classroom. All performers on the website will have completed working with children checks and have valid public liability insurance. They have also been assessed as suitable for the classroom in 2009 by the NSW’s Department of Education. We will run a performance feedback sheet that will help monitor the quality of each performer. This website should be up and running in a few weeks so stay tuned to this blog for details. Remember before you book any school performances make sure they are “Performance in Schools” certified.
