A film of an event which perfectly (in my mind any way) encapsulates the ideals of ACfE.
As part of our connecting classrooms visit the pupils of TGS, Gordon Primary and Rhynie Primary put on an evening of Scottish entertainment for our guests from Namibia and Ethiopia. The result was a fantastic evening highlighting not only our students' talents but their willingness and confidence to go onstage and show off their own culture.
- successful learners - each one had to learn something and perform it under the most stressful of circumstances
- confident individuals - each student strode onto stage as if they were seasoned performers (which many actually are)
- responsible citizens - students were asked to take part in their own time for the benefit of their schools and the partnership
- effective contributors - how much more effective could they have been, not only in their performance but also in the delivery of various aspects of their own cultural heritage.
This event was also a very physical representation of multi-establishment co-operation between two of our feeder primaries and ourselves and it showed the encouragement of leadership coming from the students.
Forget "Stop Making Sense", Sign O' The Times, or "Elvis : That's The Way It Is" this is the best concert film of all time. Courtesy of schooltube.
Sorry, had to take the film off line as permission to film didn't specifically mention posting to internet.
