Here it is- the fantastic Enhance 2016 Documentary entitled 'Think Global Act Local'. The students have worked hard to develop this over the last five weeks, interviewing various organisations and putting it all together in a single piece to raise awareness for youth homelessness, sustainability and Indigenous culture. They worked together with Baz, a great local filmmaker who shared many skills and tips on putting together this type of video project. We hope you enjoy!
Congratulations to the graduating students of the Enhance Program of 2016! It's been a busy five weeks and we were proud to be able to celebrate the student's achievements with their family and schools. The graduation ceremony was held at the Library at the Dock, a fitting venue as we have been spending time here each week working on the documentary and class activity. All the students gave a great presentation on one of the activities we've done over the term; explaining what the activity involved, how it challenged them and what they learnt from the experience. Despite some initial nerves everyone spoke well and gave a great account of the term. We also had the first opportunity to view th
Week four of the program was an absolute highlight- having three full days spent at Mt Buller skiing and snowboarding! We all met bright and early (and we mean early...) on the Wednesday morning at Collingwood before driving up to Mansfield. Here we met with the Western Newstart group again, who were coming along on the same trip as us.

It was really exciting to see those first glimpses of snow as we drove up, and despite rain the weather didn't stop us at all. Our first task once we were at Mt Buller was to find our lod
Once again we started our week off at the Library at the Dock, where we got stuck into reviewing all of the photos and B Roll footage from last week's experiences. The students selected the best for the documentary and began putting them together. A couple of the students also spent time writing and practicing an intro song for the doco as well. From the library we headed up to SYN radio for a podcast workshop. We met Josh who guided us through the process of making a radio show before giving the students time to plan for their own show. Once we'd written down a few notes the students headed into the studio to record a podcast. They all did a great job and I can see a few careers in radio co
