About this Short Film
Just Another School Day, from Cobury West P.S. (Australia, 2026), gently examines everyday school life through student voices to show how small adjustments — fast passes, quieter spaces and patience with different ways of communicating — help peers with sensory sensitivities and diverse communication styles feel included. The film adopts a practical, matter-of-fact tone that highlights noticing and supporting others rather than dramatism, making its perspective accessible to students, teachers and families. By modelling simple, respectful responses and classroom practices, it offers clear, usable prompts for discussion about inclusion and support. A concise, school-centred piece well suited to the Focus on Ability festival programme.

Hello, my name is Rosie. I am running for... I want to help support. Not everyone communicates in the same way. Different ways of speaking still deserve to be heard.
I don't know why they named like that. Look at this. Miha, do you need to get past? Yeah. Hey everyone, let's just stop to let me go. Thanks. Inclusion means noticing when someone needs support. Hey, hey, hey.
