On Tuesday, 20th May, I had the pleasure of spending a day at the Carrum Downs and Tyabb campuses Flinders Christian Community College in regional Victoria. At Carrum Downs, I worked with all the Year 6 students, introducing them to Adobe Express as a tool for creating creative videos and animations.

Later, I traveled to the Tyabb campus, where I engaged with a Year 9 science class before joining all the Year 5 students. It was delightful to see the growth of this school since the last time I visited in the early 1990s when my wife was teaching there.

After school, over 50 teachers from multiple campuses participated in the Adobe Creative Educator Level 1 course. It was wonderful to see a mix of primary and secondary teachers focusing on the importance of creativity across all curriculum areas and levels.

A personal highlight for me was catching up with Mark Hamilton (Head of Secondary), a former colleague of mine from Strathcona, and also spending the day with Adobe Creative Educator Matt Smith. Matt was instrumental in organising this event and is currently the acting principal of the primary school at the Tyabb campus.
