Room 10 at Renwick School has created another award winning movie earning the Marlborough school top accolades in a national art competition.
The class came first overall in the School is Cool online art competition run by the Education Aotearoa magazine which this year drew more than 2500 entries from around the country.
Room 10, with the guidance of their teacher Michelle Moran, took several weeks to make the short film about why school is cool.
For winning the competition the school will receive five iPads and an iPod Touch.
Last year Room 5, with the help of Miss Moran, were placed in the top 20 of a national sustainability film competition with their film Malice in Wonderland.
Sitting down to talk about the project, the class said writing the script for the voice-overs was difficult, but coming up with ideas to illustrate the words was easy.
The video entry shows images and clips of pupils learning with a rhyming rap in the background. It is narrated by Garry the Rock and Ula the Ruler.
As a condition of winning, the school had to film the pupils' reaction to their success which was kept a secret until a special assembly on Monday.
The class was called up on stage and told it was because of their bad behaviour on a field trip to Brayshaw Park. But when they found out the real reason the pupils hugged and hi-fived each other.
Deputy principal Robyn Lyall said she was proud of what the class had achieved and Miss Moran was skilled at involving the children at every step of the creative process. She did not know yet how the school would incorporate the iPads into the school.
