Sunset in My Heart
During Term 3 and 4, 2022, students from James Cook Boys Technology High School, Birrong Girls High School and Doonside Technology High School completed Story Factory’s Sunset in my Heart program.
In this workshop series students created personal essays and fragments that explored elements of social media, as part of this students were invited to write about the parts of the world they know, experience and find valuable. Extracts from this selection of writing were used as the audio for the Sunset in my Heart video edited by Isaiah Tasi, mentored by Marcus Khoudair.
This project was made possible thanks to Jibb Foundation
