Human Rights Video Contest

Written by Mr. Lomas Monday, 14 May 2012 13:33

The 2012 Human Rights Music Video contest turned out a lot of excellent projects – once again. The students – well most of them – put a lot of time and effort into this project and it shows in their videos. Their verbal presentations were equally as impressive as most of the students delved in to subjects such as war, poverty, bullying, genocide, & residential schools. I would like to congratulate all of the students who finished this project.
 
Four students were nominated, and voted, to represent their homerooms for the Best Video Contest. The remaining grade 9 students viewed and voted for which one they thought was the best. I am happy to announce the winner for this year is Anne V. with her project Where is the Love by the Black Eyed Peas. You can watch her video below.
