We are deeply concerned by discussions that the Media course may no longer continue as a dedicated class taught by a Media specialist, and instead be briefly incorporated into regular classroom time.
Media education cannot be replaced with a few occasional minutes during another class. Students deserve proper instruction and guidance in digital media, technology, online safety, communication, creativity, and storytelling.
Today’s children are growing up in a digital world. They need to understand not only how to use technology, but also the pros, cons, risks, and responsibilities that come with it. These are important skills that require time, experience, and specialized teaching.
The Media course is one of the defining parts of Easthill and one of the reasons many families choose this school. It has brought attention, pride, and recognition to the school community while giving students valuable hands-on learning opportunities.
We want our children to continue experiencing Media as its own dedicated course, taught by a specialist, the way it has always been offered.
Please preserve the Media course for current and future students.

In a technology driven world which is becoming devoid of independent creative thought I find it highly disconcerting that there would be a motion to remove media courses from our children.
media class in this day and age is not a ‘’nice to have’’ it is a must. We must tool our young ones as much as possible to allow them to move forward. At a time where both parents are now forced to work to provide, we need all the help we can get to educate shcool related skills as we must focus on perental type stuff.
It’s not just a “media class” - it’s so much more than that. It covers media safety, robotics, and is an integral part of the STEM program. It’s one of the school’s main strengths (in addition to the French immersion program). It’s essential that children learn how to use the internet properly and it would be a real shame if this course were abolished. Not to mention that Mrs. Nadia is fantastic! My son loves her class.
This program was always appreciated by my child, she learned real life tips on how to use the office suite and a computer. She liked the playfulness of this class too, kids need a reprieve from serious subjects and this class was that in part.
I thank Miss Nadia for teaching my daughter all about computers all the good and bad things with this amazing tool also for a parent like me who is not Great with technology my daughter was able to teach me thanks to media class thought by miss Nadia !!!!!!!!! Needs to stay
Lee the class the children learn It’s there future
We need this program…. The kids benefit especially in this growing AI SOCIETY we live in…. They need the skills and confidence to navigate the Technical world

This class also teaching coding and initiation to robotics; a most rapidly advancing field globally; our children need to be prepared for our digital world and I simply cannot understand why in other schools across the globe kids are being taught to code and new innovative class are integrated at the elementary level and here we are at the emsb making more cuts. Schools should have the right to define themselves based on the programs they offer. Media class should stay as a standalone course.
