STUPENDOUS I LOVED THIS FILM.IT WAS WELL FILMED. THE MAIN ACTRESS WAS ABLE TO DELIVER HER PASSIONATE ABILITIES TO WORK IN THE FILM INDUSTRY IN 5 MINS. SHE DISPLAYED THE POSITIVENESS INTELLECTUAL CREATIVINESS HAPPINESS AND SENSE OF BEING THAT FLOWS CHARISMATICALLY THROUGH THE MANY TALENTED STUDENTS ATTENDING WARRINGA PARK SCHOOL. I WOULD DEFINITELY FEEL VERY SECURE IN KNOWING MY CHILD WAS RECEIVING GREAT SUPPORT ABD EXCELLENT LEARNING ATTRIBUTES FROM THEIR TEACHERS AND AIDES. ITS A DEFINITE YES FROM ME FOR WE ARE TROOPERS WELL FILMED EVERYONE.

What an amazing Documentary Melissa. Meeting fellow students and teachers understanding different disabilities and abilities learning from scratch in a short amount of time to research record and edit. I congratulate you to the fullest. You yourself are a trooper. You have definitely excelled through your documentary and gained many amazing friends in less than 5 months. Wow I compliment you
Thank you very much everyone for your wonder feed back. It was a long process for Melissa who sacrificed both class and break times to show case our school and the wonderful students and programs we have here. I am so proud of her and inspired by her commitment and dedication to get the job done. She spent a lot of time viewing clips and sorting them. Staff also assisted with clips to add to the film. Melissa wanted to showcase so much more but fitting everything into a 5 minute movie was challenging at times for her. Like Melissa mentioned in the movie. There are yet three other campuses at Warringa Park School yet to explore... Like Melissa we have so many talented students at our campus and everyone of them have unique and inspiring abilities.
Awesome documentary.
I love your passion Melissa Well done
