Well done to the Safety Bay year 11 12's and the Malibu students who made this short film. It was great to see you work together to plan film and edit it. You were good at being positive especially when we had different hurdles to jump over and indeed stepped up when needed. You should be very proud of how you conducted yourselves on set and learned new skills. Well done to all involved
