Partners
ClassMovies engage across the breadth of school and parent communities. Here's what some of our partners in the ClassMovies programme have said:
Education organisations (Government)
"What impressed me about the pilot of ClassMovies in ten of our schools was how it brought alive the day to day excitement and adventure of learning for our children. Indeed many of our schools have expressed a wish to be fully involved once more. I was delighted at how the initiative was received by parents and pupils and teachers and am proud that Croydon LA has this unique partnership with ClassMovies."
Alan Potter, Director of Education, London Borough of Croydon, United Kingdom
Education organisations (Catholic)
"We are incredibly enthusiastic about this partnership and can't wait to get started. It will be a great insight into our schools and the Catholic schools system as well as a great gift for the child and their parents. We foresee ClassMovies being screened at graduations, open days, education expos and a range of other events. We also plan to use these movies as part of our teacher recruitment initiatives."
Ron Dullard, Director of Catholic Education in WA, Australia
Education organisations (Independent)
"IPSHA has been associated with ClassMovies since 2006. Today, over 500 ClassMovies have been produced across IPSHA schools around Australia. Heads report that the ClassMovies programme is a fantastic way to market their schools, teachers find it rewarding, parents value the insight it gives into their child's life at school and each student is provided with a lifelong memory of their class."
Keith Dalleywater, Federal President - Independent Primary Schools Heads of Australia
Principals
"We have been using ClassMovies for the past three years and it has proved to be an outstanding success. Parents are absolutely thrilled to receive such a wonderful remembrance of their children's years at school. As a school administration team we use ClassMovies as a loop in our foyer as an advertisement for our school. The teachers find the filming easy to do and hassle free as no editing is involved, just point and shoot."
Mark Panaia, Principal, St Mary's Primary School, Kalgoorlie, Australia
Teachers
"I absolutely loved it!! I have shown my kids and they LOVED it also!! They were cheering and clapping. It will be a fantastic memory of their year together. I only wish there had been something similar when I was in Year 5."
Claire Milne, Year 5 Teacher, St Gerard's Primary School, Westminster, Australia

Parent Organisations
"ClassMovies are a wonderful way for parents to have a glimpse into their child's classroom. They give them a much more comprehensive view of what goes on in their child's school day and provide a perfect record to be enjoyed long after their school days finish."
Siobhan Allen, Liaison Officer, Parents and Friends Federation of WA
Parents
"Thank you! This is how my son will remember his 2M class for the rest of his life. I'm just sorry that ClassMovies weren't around when I was at school."
Antonia Folden, Parent, Rose Bay Primary School, Australia
Film schools
"I can not express enough how we value our school's relationship with ClassMovies. It is the deep desire of every committed teacher that their students find fulfilling work at the end of their studies. ClassMovies not only provides employment for a significant number of our graduates but also shows them that filmmaking can be a powerful tool for good."
Leslie Oliver, Head of Studies, Sydney Film , Australia
