St Edmund's on the Red Carpet at the Focus On Ability - Short Film Festival - Chatswood Concourse
Congratulations to 11D and Ms Minkley whose short film "The Bright Side" featured with distinction at The Focus On Ability Short Film Festival at the Chatswood Concourse. It was great to see so many of our students, families and connections walking the Red Carpet at Chatswood Concourse Concert Hall.
And we were inspired to support St Edmund's "other" entrant film, which was produced by the Dole Family : Karin, Hugo, Remy and Jono, and is entitled "My Brother Hugo". The Dole's made us incredibly proud and elated, when they took home a major award for Best Production.

We are blessed with wonderful students, families and community at St Edmund's Wahroonga and the messages provided in both these short films are at once, inspirational and uplifting!
Thank you to all the team from Focus on Ability, and presenters, including actor John Jarrat, and many other stars of the large and smaller screen, who made this a great event to showcase the ability and message of so many great people in our local, wider and international community.
Thanks also to major sponsor Nova Employment for once again facilitating and organising this wonderful international event which has stood the test of time over 18 years
