On Thursday the 17th of January 2008, Blairgowrie High School held a French and German scriptwriting event.

First years took part and were split into groups depending on which language they are taught. A group leader and a fifth year were also in the groups. The group leader was a German or French person within the local community.

The script had to be written with a school theme and in German or French. The aim of the whole event was to get a little practice and help us with our modern language.

The scripts were judged and the top three groups all received prizes but the winners will get their script turned into a cartoon movie and it is going to be shown in the DCA cinema in Dundee. That is where the art department comes in… First years will be making the cartoon.

The winners were a French-speaking team who produced a movie about a bully and an invisible dog. They were presented with a gold scriptwriting trophy by the compères, Mrs Boylan and Mr Dowie.

At the end, all helpers were given a box of chocolates and a certificate. Last year’s winners’ movie has just recently been shown in the DCA cinema.
