Students learn film-making skills
Students in Years 5 and 6 from Woy Woy Public School had the opportunity to attend the Kids Witness News sessions at Macquarie University last term.
As part of the program, they were provided with a video camera, software, microphone, tripod vests, tee shirts, pens and clipboards.
