Schools Competition 2007
Local students’ ideas turned into film clips
The creativity of local students was commended last night (05/12/07) at the Safer Hastings Partnership’s Schools Competition 2007 Awards Ceremony (click here to see photos).
Digital camcorders, Nintendo Wiis and MP4 players were among the prizes given to local schools and winning pupils in the competition to produce a storyboard that could be turned into a film to be played on the Partnership’s community TV network, SHP-TV.
The Awards Ceremony attracted 200 people, including the Mayor, Council Leader, District Commander and High Sheriff of East Sussex, as well as the short-listed 45 students (15 primary; 15 secondary, 15 college/6th form), who each received a certificate and goodie bag.
More than 460 local school students entered the competition, drawing storyboards for film clips about Railway Safety, Fire & Road Safety and Anti-Social Behaviour.
The winner in each category was presented with a trophy and MP4 player, donated by Network Rail’s youth railway safety campaign No Messin’. St Mary Star of the Sea Primary School student Matthew Standen beat entrants twice his age to be the Fire/Road Safety Winner, while Carlos Wong and Jamie Dunmill from William Parker Sports College scooped the prizes in the Anti-Social Behaviour and Railway Safety categories respectively.
The winning primary school entry, by year 1 Mathilda Fell, a pupil at Blacklands Primary School, warned against crossing the yellow line on station platforms. Mathilda won an Nintendo Wii games console for herself and a digital camcorder for her school. The High Sheriff of East Sussex Caroline Mayhew presented these prizes.
The winning secondary school entry, which was about remembering to check the batteries in your smoke detectors, was submitted by a year 7-pupil from The Grove School. Britannie Gould won a Nintendo Wii for herself and a digital camcorder for her school (prizes donated and presented by Sussex Police Authority).
The winning college/6th form entry, which was a very clear message about paying attention while crossing the road, was submitted by a year 13-pupil from William Parker Sports College. James Taylor won a Nintendo Wii for himself and a digital camcorder for his school (prizes donated and presented by East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service).
All six winning clips have been turned into films and will are now playing across Hastings & St Leonards on SHP-TV. The screens are located at Tesco, McDonalds, Hastings College, Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, the Conquest Hospital, Hastings Information Centre, etc.
Each of the six winners was presented with a DVD of the clip that was based on their storyboard idea and the clips were shown to the 200-strong audience at the Awards Ceremony.
Eighteen runners-up (six primary, six secondary, six college/6th form) each received a pair of Odeon Hastings Cinema tickets, donated by the Odeon Hastings.
All winning students, winning schools and runners-up were presented with crystal glass trophies along with their prizes.
The competition was judged by the sponsors (Odeon Hastings, Sussex Police Authority, Network Rail’s No Messin’ and East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service), as well as senior Home Office official John Scott, the High Sheriff of East Sussex Caroline Mayhew and representatives of the Safer Hastings Partnership, CCN Ltd (the company behind the TV network), Hastings Borough Council, the Hastings & St Leonards Excellence Cluster and Sussex Police.
 Natalie Williams, the Safer Hastings Partnership’s Communications Manager, said, “Congratulations to all of the local school students that took part, but especially to the winners. The standard of the entries was even higher than last year, and it was very difficult to choose runners-up and winners out of the 464 entries we received.
“Thank you to all of the schools that took part, and to our sponsors.
“We hope to run another schools competition in 2008, so any staff who would like to register their interest should email shptv@saferhastings.co.uk.”
