The Developers - Hobartville Public School

Watch the short film by S3M 2020 Hobartville Public School that won 'Best Primary School Film' category at the 2021 Australian Teachers of Media awards.

Three property developers visit Hobartville Public School, bringing with them plans for a state of the art education facility. When the students discover the true, sinister nature of their proposal, they must team up to stop the developers at all costs.

- Good morning, Mr. Honeybadger, thanks for meeting with us.

- What a beautiful school you have here.

- Yes, we're incredibly proud of it.

- I think we could come up with a few ideas to make the school spectacular.

- Hey lady, do you wanna see my drawings? It looks just like you.

- You better watch it kid. I'll turn that dog of yours into a bunch of fluff.

- Uh, I mean we love little kids, don't we? That's why we're here at Hobartville, yep.

- Don't worry, your school is in good hands.

- Can you believe that principal actually thinks we want to help the school?

- Little do they know, once we get approval, we'll turn this place into the biggest high rise in all of Australia. Those snotty children won't know what's coming. We'll crush this school like it's a cookie.

- What a perfectly good waste of a cookie.

- I can't believe they're gonna do this to Hobartville.

- Yeah, I can't believe they called us snotty little kids.

- I think the main point is that they're gonna destroy our beautiful school.

- Not if we have something to do with it.

- Vatsin! Louis!

- We need you to sneak into that room and get the plans for the school.

- And make sure you do not get caught.

- Good job guys.

- Let's call an emergency class meeting, now. There's a plot to destroy our beautiful school.

- I don't believe anyone's going to do that to Hobartville.

- Oh yeah? Well have to look at this.

- [Girl] Whoa!

- Oh, ha! How did that get in there?

- Oh, sorry. It's this one.

- So it's true. They're gonna build a high rise here.

- [All] What?

- We need a plan to stop them. And that's where we come in, even you Easter Bunny.

- We're gonna set up a bucket trap. We'll place them in a room and, bam! We'll douse them in water.

- We need a group of kids to divert them into the bathroom. Easter Bunny, that's where you come in. You chase them towards the gate.

- Finally, this.

- But that's just a jar.

- You'll see what this is for. Let's just say you need to eat a lot of baked beans.

- There's no room for error, let's save our school.

- Operation Save Hobartville.

- [All] Hooray!

- [Girl] Time to get 'em!

- And we're gonna cut all these trees down.

- Ew!

- Oh! Ah!

- Do your worst.

- I really hope that was a fart.

- Free cookies.

- Close your eyes and wait for the test.

- Look what they did to us!

- Let's get out of here.

- This school isn't worth it.

- Ah, that new car smell.

- I can taste it!

- Don't ever come here again.

- What happened to my car?
