ATOM, the Australian Teachers of Media, is Australia’s independent, not-for-profit who promotes the study of media in Australian schools. The membership of ATOM are primarily teachers and lecturers across all disciplines and levels of education.

They are the producers of metro magazine and educational support material that allows teachers to bring Australian films in to the classroom. In fact we here at POP engaged them to write our very own study guide.

ATOM also annually awards documentaries, tv series and dramas for film and media excellence in education and the wider industry. This year SONS & mothers has been nominated for Best Documentary – Arts.

Awards to be announced in November and we’re excited to be in such excellent company.

Good luck team!
