More news about our famous DVD ‘Our World War One: remembering Mitcham Camp

More exciting news- as you know we are finalists in the 2016 SA and NZ ATOM film awards. I’m travelling to Melbourne later this month to attend the awards.

The latest bit of excitement is that the ABC TV show BTN, Behind the News, is featuring our DVD footage in their episode about Remembrance Day. It airs on ABC3 on Tuesday 8th November at 10am. It can also be watched straight from the BTN website at anytime after Tuesday 10am.

The final piece of SUPER exciting news is that our DVD has won the Federal Government’s Dept of Veteran Affairs Anzac Day Schools Award for SA. The school won $2000. We are now in the running for a national prize.

We are so grateful to our film producers and parents, Linda Kennedy and Helen Carter because without them, none of this would have been possible.

If your family does not yet have a copy of the DVD, there are still a few available at the front office for $20. Commemorative Anzac centenary pennies are also available for $5 each. The DVD and pennies will be available from me, wandering the yard after school, on Remembrance Day (11th November)
