“As our school was in lockdown and all teaching was through online classes, we decided to make our film using the Internet and Google Classroom,” said Mr Dineen.

“Through discussion with the class online the children came up with the ideas, wrote the script and suggested editing. Our film is a look at an online class that is not going too well for the teacher when suddenly the Inspector of Online Classes makes an appearance,” he said.

“I would ask that people click the red heart on the web page and comment .
Like all small schools funding is an issue and this opportunity to win one of the prizes could be a great boost for our school,” said Mr Dineen.
