Sophia: Hi, my name is Sophia and I am one of the very first students at Thornhill Park Primary School. We’re the first students to study at this brand new, exciting school.
[We watch Sophia walk towards the school entrance]
Sophia: This is the library.
[First a shot of a sign that reads ‘Library’ and then a panning shot from an orange, patterned ceiling down to the library. The short changes and we see Sophie sitting and reading on a bench with orange cushions.]
[Panning shot of an indoor basketball court. The camera follows Sophia as she picks up a netball and then shoots a goal.]
Sophia: We have this massive gym for sport. It's also where we'll have music and performing arts.

Sophia: This is the learning community, which is where our classrooms are.
[Panning shot of a classroom interior. There are five tables surrounded by chairs and the walls are painted yellow.]
[We see Sophia walk into a reading nook with many green shelves.]
Sophia: This is where we can learn STEM, food technology, and art.
[The shot jumps to a classroom door sign that reads ‘STEM Lab’, then pans around the STEM classroom. Then we see a sign that reads ‘Art Studio’ and the camera pans around a pink art classroom with bench seats and a row of sinks.]
