I hope you’re all looking forward to this Friday’s first ever school-wide awards ceremony, 'The Catties'. Previously this existed as the Film Awards, but in order to foster inclusion, collaboration and celebration across programmes we have expanded this to the whole school. Each programme has 1-2 dedicated awards that highlight and celebrate what is unique about their course. 

Key timings:

  • 15:00–16:30: screening + voting for Best Film in Co Lab 2

  • 17:00–18:30: The Catties, Catalyst Awards Ceremony (with host Merlina Scheffler, Catalyst Alum)

  • 18:00–the end: We party! See all set times here. 

Awards listed in the order they will be presented and where possible, links to their work have been included so you can explore the works of those nominated.
