Working  With  Youth

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the guidance of the Director of Specialist Arts at Hertswood School   we organised an Enterprise Day consisting of a competition involving all 250 or so Year 10 students.

 

15 teams competed to create ideas for displays designed to be a source

of interest and pride in the rich film and television heritage of Elstree and Borehamwood, not only for the students but also for their friends, their families and for the community.

 

The Enterprise Day was held on 6th July 2006 with the active support of over 20 teachers plus Sixth Formers and members of the Student Arts Council.  In the words of the Headteacher, Mrs. Jan Palmer Sayer, :

 

             I really enjoyed judging the presentations at the end of the day                and was extremely impressed by the quality of the work that                   the students had produced.

 

             The day really helped students to develop the skills of working                  in teams as well as helping them understand their local heritage.

             I was amazed at the quality of the props and artefacts that you

             were able to bring along and I know the students were highly                 impressed and really enjoyed the event.

 

The winning teams have now turned their ideas into reality  :

 

             Special Effects Without CGI     ( Computer Generated Images )

             Film Families

             Britain’s Hollywood

             Elstree’s First Cinema : The GEM
