Sharing Our Success

Film Club nominated as Film Club of the Year!

Wanstead High School Film Club is very excited, for the second year running, to be one of only 3 schools out of 7000 to be nominated as Film Club of the Year.

Students from each of our three film clubs are due to attend the star studded First Light Film Awards, hosted by Edith Bowman, at the BFI in March where we will find out if we have won.

Our Film Club was nominated in particular for the staff and students’ commitment, enthusiasm and knowledge of film which is shared with our many film clubbers from years seven through to thirteen who attend each week. A recent Olympic themed Film Festival saw us screen Offside and Africa United, alongside Cool Runnings, while for China week members enjoyed CJ7, Hero and Chunking Express.

For more information or to join please see the team in Media, room 25, or ask your tutor about this week’s film for your year group.

Dance Marathon Winners

Our dance teacher, Ms Clements, recently took some students to the Barbican to see Dance Marathon, by Bluemouth Inc. It was audience participation all the way, joining in with free dance, following instructions to learn set pieces whilst enjoying listening to monologues and a great live band. The fantastic evening saw Wanstead High school students and staff taking seven out of the twelve semi-finalist places and two of our students fighting off fierce competition from over 200 people to win a trophy at the end of a very enjoyable evening.
