Pixeled Multimedia Teachers Association

Some good news on the Multimedia front. One of Jacquie Hewitt's students at Bayside has won the prestigious Vocational Education Award. Jacqui has written a short piece about the student.

Vocational Education Award
Scarlett comes from Bayside College Newport (Western Suburbs)and has
just completed Year 12 2006. She completed VET Multimedia cert III with
RMIT as the RTO. I applied for the Vocational Education award for
Scarlett van Mourik as she had done work placement with Pete Brownstein
(Riverstone Multimedia) and had cut and edited a DVD of the 2005 New
Zealand Festival shot at Federation Square. This DVD was showcased at
the New Zealand consulate with the endorsement of Multicultural Arts
Victoria and Melbourne City Council. The New Zealand Consulate have use
of it as a promotioanl DVD. Scarlett has completed a number of short
films of the Polynesian dance group-"Fusian" and aids in an after school
multimedia class for Polynesian students. Scarlett's film work was also
shortlisted at Atom

Scarlett won the Vocational Award $2000 and was shortlisted out of 500
students to win the Prime Ministers' Skills for Excellence. ($2000) 10
VET students in Australia win this award and 10 SBNA (School based New
Apprenticeship but it is now called ABS I think). Scarlett was the only
Victroian VET recipient and is an outstanding role model for the study
VET Multimedia Cert III. She hopes to get into the film industry and
intends to do further study in 2007.
