LO3- The Purpose Of Conducting Our Campaign

The Purpose Of Conducting Our Campaign:

We are conducting a campaign to put onto the T:mac transition website in order to help promote and advertise the school to Year 6 pupils, who, along with their parents, are wondering which High School to attend.

We had a class discussion and thought about different aspects of High School that newcomers may be worried or concerned about. We then selected a number of these, including:

Homework

Tying Your Tie

Making Friends

New Subjects

Student Support Centre

School Meals

After School Clubs

Mentors and Prefects

We also decided to base the characters in our animations on animals, as these seemed approachable and friendly, with influences including Creative Comforts and The Leonard Cheshire Disability Campaign, who also use creature comfort style animations to represent various characters with disabilities.

We were then split up into chosen groups of different amounts of people. Ours was a three, and together we had to create a short 15 second animation based on the SSC (Student Support Centre).

Once all the animations were finished, they were uploaded onto different sections of the T:mac Transition website under the relevant topical student subsections at:

We hope that children and parents alike will look at the animations and this will encourage them to value Turton as a great, safe and friendly place to be. They also serve to reinforce the relevant text and liven up the student sections.
