Sione's Dream

The filming and laughing were fun.

Sione's Dream was written and filmed between 5–7 April 2005 by the Freshies from Newlands College.

Imagine you are suddenly transported from the country that you know to another, where the language and customs are totally foreign. Being alone in a different country can be a scary experience. This is a story of Sione, and what happens when he shifts from his college in the islands to a school in New Zealand. Or is it just a dream?

Join 'The Freshies' from Newlands College and view the short digital story they have created to explore the theme of immigrating to New Zealand.
