  I had the privilege of working under the guidance of the incredible executive staff at Glossop High School (now Berri Regional Secondary College) throughout 2020. As it was a brand new role, I paved the way of future trainees and learnt on the go. DOCUMENT CREATION: Jobs included designing and bringing a fresh look to the School Magazine, Curriculum Handbooks, weekly Newsletter, Wellbeing Packs, Distance Education information and much more. VIDEO CREATION: had the privilege of attending Outdoor Education camps to create videos and promote the subject in the school community. I single handedly created 28 'Year 11 Subject Videos' with teachers which provided the chance for students to listen to teachers talk about their subjects, which had a fantastic result on the students when picking their subjects for the year ahead. Working closely with the Principal, we also developed a few videos shared with the community around COVID-19 restrictions and operations at school. These performed extremely well and were well received throughout the whole year. OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES: Along with my design work, I was school photographer, attending all school events to promote on social media / newsletters / magazine. It was a fantastic way to interact with the students and get to know them. The year was a year of growth in more ways than one. My experience in the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects and Illustrator) increased so much and am forever grateful. Show less
