 A CELEBRATION OF FILM AND MUSIC On Wednesday March 3 at 6pm, Sydney Film School (SFS) screens 10 short films at the Australian Institute of Music (AIM) as part of a very special AIM/SFS screening night. All the films screened have been made by SFS students with the music composed by students at AIM - the major independent music-education provider in Australia. The SFS AIM relationship has developed over the last five years at a grass roots level, with students from both institutions collaborating on films together. This screening showcases the fruits of such collaborations. The screenings will take place at AIM (1 - 51 Foveaux St, Darlingurst) with SFS filmmakers and AIM composers in attendance. Entry is FREE and all are welcome! www.sydneyfilmschool.com   Bayside Film Festival 2010, Victoria 14 - 17 July 2010 Palace Brighton Bay 294 Bay Street, Brighton In 2010, the festival will also screen films created by students far beyond Bayside in the Jump Cut Open Youth Category sessions.

The study path for entry to the legal profession begins with undertaking either the Board's examinations, or a law degree from an accredited law school. Then, in either case, in order to be eligible for admission to practice, it is necessary to complete an accredited program of practical legal training. Successful completion of the Board's examinations leads to the award of the Board's Diploma in Law. For the purpose of admission as a lawyer the Diploma and a degree from an accredited law school are equivalent qualifications. The Diploma in Law is a much cheaper pathway to legal practice. However, students need to possess initiative and a strong motivation towards self-directed study in order to succeed in the Diploma in Law. Most of the teachers are practitioners who are not generally accessible to the students outside of lectures (as are university teachers) and the level of on campus support typically provided in undergraduate university courses is not available. Pressure of work, time management, and the difficulties of a new discipline mean that a relatively high proportion of students experience difficulty with the early subjects. http://www.usyd.edu.au/lec/future/index.htm  SCHOOL HOLIDAY CSI WORKSHOPS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Presented on the grounds of the University of New South Wales, over 200 students have had a "real" crime scene investigation experience using the latest techniques, equipment and led by qualified teachers.
