Electives
Photography
Future school has a Dark Room, which is used by the Analogue Photography Students. The students learn to use film cameras and use film to capture their photographs. They then exercise a traditional process using chemicals to develop the negatives and use an enlarger in the darkroom to enlarge and develop their images.
They also create Pinhole Camera photos and photograms. Students this age are new to analogue photography as most of them were born in the digital era. Some of them get to see and handle a film camera for the first time. The idea that they have to spend time to process and develop the image as opposed to being able to see it instantaneously is novel to them. They find the whole process fascinating and are really taking to it and some of them are good at it.
They are working towards creating a body of work that is of good quality so that we can exhibit their work. So look out for this exhibition in the months after the holidays.
For the last year due to Covid19 lock down, students have mainly been working with their mobile phones to do their photography assignments. They have been exploring themes and projects such as:

- Double Exposure
- Developing their own photography styles
- Motion Blur
- Converting their non macro mobile cameras into a macro camera and using them.
- Story telling through a series of images

Latin Class
This is the second year Latin has been offered as an elective. The course is meant to introduce students not only to the language but also to Roman culture. Students learn about trade, architecture and town planning while at the same time learning Latin grammar and vocabulary.
In this elective course students learn Latin through a series of fictional stories based on a real person who lived in Pompeii during the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
In this course students often act out the stories whilst reading them in Latin, this allows our students to experience the roman mentality or at least the modern perception of it.

There are 6 talented students in this group and their work is just as varied and eclectic as their personalities.
The students are expected to do 6 weeks of preparatory work based on a set theme. The students engage in research on this topic, collecting examples from as many sources as possible. |
