On Wednesday 11th October I had the pleasure to be invited to Fitzroy High School in Melbourne for an Adobe Day. Throughout the day I worked with all the Year 7 & 8 students and introduced them to Adobe Character Animator and Premiere Rush.

The Victorian Department of Education and Training (Vic DET) provides Adobe Creative Cloud applications to all of their secondary students and teachers. This means that individual schools don’t have to worry about finding the budget to provide this vital creativity software. The same centeralised distribution management is found in the New South Wales Department of Education (NSW DoE). Both Vic DET & NSW DoE are listed in the worlds largest K-12 education systems so having this sort of access to the world’s best digital creativity software is a wonderful benefit for all their students and teachers.

In a video interview with Allan Barnes from Fitzroy High School he said,

It’s great that the Department of Education have partnered with Adobe to make these product free for students. They just use their school email address and they can download all the apps and learn to use them while they are at school and then use them at TAFE or university or when they get a job.

I would like to thank Allan for organising this event.
