Wow wow wow! Once in a lifetime opportunity just happened to come our way this morning (ok there had been a great deal of groundwork done in preparing for this by Ms Whorlow, and Mrs Henry had used some of her Easter holidays and an evening to make this happen). Four members of the filming crew of ‘Keepers’ agreed to come into Portpatrick Primary and meet with them and Leswalt for an extra-special, ‘never experienced before’ Careers in the Community chat! Unfortunately, cast members were busy filming on set in Stranraer (but we were presented with original posters signed by the main stars!)
Joe and Kel are screenwriters and actors, Andy and Ade are both producers and they shared with the pupils some of their experiences in the very interesting hour long chat. The pupils asked some fabulous questions, keen to know more. You never know; perhaps the next generations of screenwriters, producers, makeup artists and actors are to be found in our pupils!
