On Wednesday 30th April, I was invited to Oyster Bay Public School to work with their Year 3 to 6 students and teachers to help develop their digital literacy and creativity skills with Adobe Express.

I first discovered this school in 2023 when a group of their Year 4 students (and their teacher Ashley Napier) won the Primary School section of the NSW Department of Education Game Changer Challenge Final, beating a range of older Year 5/6 groups. Watch the video on this link to find out more.

Ashley and the school principal Mat Egan organised for these talented students (who are now in Year 6) to visit me at the Adobe Sydney Office the day prior to my visit to their school. We spent a couple of hours learning some new techniques with Adobe Express and had a tour of the office.

It was delightful to visit the Oyster Bay Public School and work with just about every student from Year 3 to 6 where I set them all a design challenge to create an animated video with Adobe Express based on making the world a better place.

After school, I ran many of the teaching staff through the Adobe Creative Educators Level 1 micro-credential course.

I would like to thank Principal Mat Egan and Ashley Napier for organising this special incursion event for their school.
