Meander Matters Digital Media Project Connecting Our Community

The 2018 Information, Digital Media Technology (IDMT) VCE class of Yea High School worked on the Meander Matters project promoting Yea High School and the huge amount of spirit within its grounds and students, both past and present. This eight week  project was designed as a job ready exercise for the students as well as to help map the school’s, all important, connection to the community of Yea. Yea High School’s digital media class of talented young editors, photographers, film makers and interviewers have worked hard to bring this vision to life. With the support of the Central Ranges LLEN the school’s IDMT students worked alongside communications services provider Bret Salinger to produce a range of video interview videos, a behind the scenes video, a project logo, photos, social media collateral and advertising posters over the course of Term Three, giving the group of students exposure to the sorts of skills and equipment needed to pursue communications as a career.

Participating students
Kimberley Bay, Nicholas Charles, Thomas Collyer, Hannah Creed, Taleifa Crockett, Seth Hanson-Aristides, Zachary Harry, Bianca Longstaff, Coen Marks, Zander Matthews, Jack McKee, Kirk Mercuri, Kendall Richards, Madison Robinson, Jay Sanders, Aaron Styles, and Yasmin Ukosich
