'Wow!! What a visit the Ngalapita Students’ experienced by The Unframed Project team. Sandra and her assistant Sarah visited Ngalapita Remote Community School, located in Koorabye Community on Kalyeeda Station. Sandra and Sarah shared their expertise in photography and engaged students in some protective behaviours and Mental Health workshops.

Sandra explained to students how to care for and use appropriately a high grade camera and demonstrated all the different types of camera angle shots you can use to create different effects photography. The Middle Class, MissTaryn, Sandra and Sarah then took a trip out to the local Billabong and took some amazing flora and fauna shots of the local environment. Students worked in pairs and were able to trial and error different shots around an area they value and feel very connected to in community. Throughout the day, some very talented photographers emerged. The students thoroughly enjoyed the day  and also learnt valuable positive mental health strategies. The photos are going to be put to good use with a school calendar to be designed, so everyone at school and community can keep track of all the events planned in 2021.

The Ngalapita students were also very appreciative of the basketball shirts Harvey Norman and Ms Jenny donated so that community and students will be able to engage in joint basketball games to promote community positive mental health in the community. The students looked so smart in the uniforms and are ready to take on the community at the next basketball game.

A big, big, thank you to both Sandra and Sarah for their visit to Ngalapita school, it was a fantastic two days and we hope to see you out our way again soon.'
