GRADUATION 2023!

What a year it has been - This past Friday we spent some time reflecting on all that God has done in us over this past year. There were many laughs shared as we thought about how much we have grown not only in skill but in character!

God has been so good to us and we have seen such tremendous growth in all of our students.

We also got to watch the premier screening of their final films, which will be launching on our Youtube this week for the world to see.

We end the year thankful to God for His goodness & guidence, and also excited for all He has in store for our students in the years to come!

STUDENT BRAND FILMS!

This term started off with a bang as our students jumped straight into their first project. Their task was to find a local business or organization and to tell their "Why" & not their "What" story.

The point was to find a conceptual way to get the audience to connect with the business/organizations vision & mission.

A huge thank you to Isithembiso Babies Home, Animal Welfare Society : Port Elizabeth & Altitude ministry team for allowing our students to tell your stories!
