This event marks the beginning of a larger project that the students will embark on throughout the term. They will continue to refine their ideas and visions, ultimately creating a video exhibition that showcases their innovative concepts. The project will culminate in a grand finale breakfast in Term 4, celebrating the students’ hard work and imaginative contributions.
