Recently the inaugural Manawatu Digi Awards took place. There were over 500 entries from over 20 schools in the Manawatu. Entries could be in a range of categories from animation to short movies to digital photographs to documentaries... We had over 30 entries and were proud to have 9 entries become successful finalists and even prouder to have two winning entries for their categories. Our finalist entries (or the links to them) are shared below and we hope you enjoy all our awesome learning!
