🎬 This term, students are stepping up to the Doco in a Day challenge — not just as filmmakers, but as global citizens.

Students will use their creativity, skills, and passion to spotlight a global justice issue. Their challenge – to tell stories that ignite empathy, spark conversation, and inspire action.

Through Doco in a Day, students are learning that storytelling can unlock potential and open minds. Importantly, they are fundraising for access to education in communities living in poverty.

We invite you to stand with them — to listen to their voices, support their vision, and celebrate their courage to care about something bigger than themselves.

Because when young people rise with purpose, the world pays attention.

There’s still time to join the challenge.
