PRU'V You Wrong
Five students from St Mary's Short Stay School in Redditch have produced a short, dynamic film aimed at explaining the reality of 'SSS' life. The students visited various units around the county interviewing staff and pupils to find out the facts about 'SSS's'...
What is a Short Stay School?
Who goes to them?
How do they change people?
What are your thoughts on changing 'PRU's' to 'Short Stay Schools'?
The challenge was to present the role and the positive impact of Short Stay Schools and create a contemporary, accessible resource for young people, their parents and carers, education professionals and the wider community. It is envisaged that new entrants to the SSS's will be able to watch the DVD along with their parents/carers and have a positive image of the Short Stay Schools and the opportunities they offer.
During the sessions the young people involved learnt many new skills such as interview techniques, film, photography, marketing and event management. The film was showcased on Friday 28th May at Palace Theatre, Redditch, and drew an audience of more than 50 people. The event was a huge success and the young people involved received much deserved praise.
