"THE LAST LAUGH"

The Essex Youth Scrutiny Committee completed their short film, "The Last Laugh", about bullying and held their Premier at the Empire Cinema at Basildon Festival Leisure Park.  Where were you on Wednesday 17th March 2009?  Were you lucky enough to attend the event?  If you weren't able to attend, don't worry.  An anti-bullying resource pack will be sent out soon to schools in Essex.  Each pack will contain a copy of  "The Last Laugh" and anti-bullying resources for teachers.  So make sure your school gets a copy and that you all get to see the DVD!

The event was a great success and enjoyed by everyone.  The message that the DVD sends is powerful and memorable.  The Committee hopes that you all have the opportunity to see the film and recommend it to others.  Click here to see a press release about the event. 

There are so many people to thank for helping to make the Premier such a brilliant day and for helping to produce such a great film, including staff and students from Greenward Academy, the film crew and script writers, the staff at Empire cinema and many, many more.  Unfortunately it's impossible to name you all, but the Committee are extremely grateful and would like to thank everyone who has supported and assisted the Committee in any small way throughout 2009.

Congratulations, EYSC members for all your hard work and dedication!!!  The success of the Premier shows what a brilliant job you've all done this past year.  You should all be very proud of yourselves.  Thanks to your report and the DVD, which will be sent to schools and the decision makers at Essex County Council, you've really helped to make a difference.  Well done!
