Makaylie Foodey Success
 Perseverance and skill has taken Year 12 Maitland Grossmann High School student Makaylie Foodey to the top nine in a Talent Development Project in Sydney.Two hundred hopefuls began the knock out project last year, which saw Makaylie travel to Sydney every month to showcase her talent and prove she has what it takes to stay in the program and make it to the final round. After an intensive year of workshops, performances and criticism from industry experts, Makaylie said she was thrilled to be in the top nine and was excited about graduating from the course in August.

Tim’s shaken, not stirred, with film’s success
 Multimedia genius Tim Cant is on his way to becoming a modern-day Walt Disney after his lego movie James Blonde: From Mexico with Affection was chosen as an exhibit in the InTech exhibition at Fox Studios in Sydney. The 19-year-old ex-Maitland Grossmann High School student has always had a creativity and talent for multimedia, and his latest creation sees a caricature of James Bond mixed with Austen Powers’ humour in lego form where the characters come to life with realistic fights and somersaults. Tim made the 15-minute movie last year for his HSC Industrial Technology Multimedia major project and he said he is thrilled that his work will be included in the exhibition. “It’s a surprise and a shock and it’s good because I want to have a career in the movie industry and this honour can open up a lot of doors for me,” Tim said. Tim worked on the project for about a year. “I had to make the movie’s sets and do the voice-overs and take 15 photos for each second of footage and then put them together with a special program and edit them,” he said. Tim’s work will be on display from June 19 to 21. BELINDA-JANE DAVIS The Maitland Mercury

YEAR 9 LAPTOPS MEETING
Year 9 parents who didn't attend the initial meeting for the rollout of laptops, a second meeting has been scheduled for after the Year 7 & 8 Parent teacher night. We will meet again in the library. Parents need to sign in at the meeting and collect the Laptop Charter which sets out the policy and procedures for the student rollout. This is a very exciting time in education. Only the parents who were unable to make the first meeting need to attend. We are unable to send home the paperwork without your attendance at the meeting. Students will receive their laptops by the middle of next term and parents will need to attend to collect them with their child.
