NHS students in award-winning short films
From the films
Congratulations! A New York Film Festival Award!
In late 2016, the Federal Office of the Children’s eSafety Commissioner made 8 short films about online bullying and cybersafety. Almost all of these were filmed by Brave Media at Northcote HS. They used actors in speaking roles, but Northcote HS students played all the non-speaking and extra parts. A few familiar staff faces can also be seen!
Last week the episode “Connor” won Bronze in the New York World’s Best TV and Film Awards.

Special thanks and acknowledgement to all NHS students who supported and performed in these important and entertaining short films.
