Students Win Bronze at Ontario Skills Competition
Creativity and animation skills were on display at All Saints Catholic High School, as students took home the Bronze medal at the Ontario Skills Competition. After having won their respective qualifying competitions in Kingston on April 16, ASH students Aidan Long, Jean-Luc Sabourin, Brynn Rhude and Kristen Twolan travelled to RIM Park in Waterloo from May 2-4, to showcase their myriad skillsets at the Provincial level.
Aidan and Jean-Luc, competing in the 2D Animation category, had to use the lessons they learned in Mr. Brook's Communications Technology class - as well as their creative genius - to construct an 8 second animation that related to an audio clip that was provided to them.
Kristen and Brynn were competing in the TV & Video Production category to create a 1 minute to 1 minute 30 second comedy video. The students decided to use a 'Home Alone' theme to showcase the different events that were happening around the Skills venue. Using the techniques they had learned from Mr. Brooks as well as their staff mentor Mr. Jewitt, the students produced a very artistic and imaginative video.
Everyone involved had a tremendous experience at the event and are looking forward to building off of their success. Go Avalanche!
