Students at Kempsey South Public School, in collaboration with Melville High School and professional Hip Hop artists Moorganics and Wire MC, have cut their first Hip Hop track.
"The students are just wonderful. They have written and produced this track and been so excited about their learning. The track highlights real world issues for our students and is a genuine example of positive learning making a difference in the Macleay," said Mr Davies, the coordinating teacher.
Students collaborated to produce a video track that deals with important social and real-world issues. This massive undertaking required students to immerse themselves in deep learning tasks and step beyond the normally comfortable bounds of a traditional classroom.
Principal Mr Kuchling said, "I couldn't be prouder of our students. Their engagement and positive approach to this task has been simply extraordinary. And while the students have been exemplary, the support and behind-the-scenes assistance they received from Mr Davies and Alana, Annabel and Kempsey council, and of course the good folks from Moorganics and Wire MC has been breathtaking. The result is incredible and something that our whole community can be proud of."
The students have no immediate plans for a follow-up track t yet, instead choosing to take some time to enjoy their recent success.
Well done Kempsey South!
