Message from the Principal
Welcome to “Gala 2024 – Impulse”
Eastwood has enjoyed a long-standing reputation as offering the premier enhanced arts experience among the secondary schools of the Waterloo Region. While Gala is made possible by the tremendous commitment and astonishing artistic vision that the teachers in Eastwood’s Arts programs bring daily, it is the talents and efforts of the Integrated Arts Program (IAP) students that we celebrate most! Additionally, we thank the Waterloo Region Integrated Arts Program Parents Association (WRIAPPA), and the parents/guardians of our IAP students for their tireless dedication and support in realizing this shared vision.
The energy of Eastwood’s IAP students dancing, making music, dramatizing, providing technical support, and creating exquisite visual art provides a feast for the senses that our staff and students feel privileged to witness and enjoy every day.
Thank you for attending and for sharing in this experience!

About Eastwood Arts & WRIAPPA
Eastwood’s Integrated Arts Program (IAP) has been helping students Find Their Art since 1987. This program, unique in the Region, receives no additional funding; relying entirely on fundraising activities for its extended needs.
To fill this gap, WRIAPPA was formed. The Waterloo Region Integrated Arts Program Parents Association is an independent group of parent volunteers who work to provide fundraising support for the program. We do this through events like the Gala, event concessions, raffles, and other activities. This work provides the teachers of the IAP with the funds needed to provide the best program possible for our students.
The Integrated Arts Program wouldn’t be possible without the support of donors and volunteers just like you.
If you’d like more information about WRIAPPA, or to volunteer with us, please contact eastwoodarts@gmail.com.

2024 Juried Visual Art Show - Juror Biographies
August Swinson is an artist and member of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation, currently living in Kitchener, Ontario. He graduated from the George Brown Graphic Design program in Toronto.
Working in a variety of styles he uses a mix of hand-drawn and computer-generated illustrations. August is influenced by the beauty of nature and the classic Canadian landscape. Memories of his childhood living on Scugog Island, his illustrations evoke a sense of fun, and something familiar that reminds us of a more innocent age but from a new perspective.

2024 Juried Film & Animation Juror Biographies
Holden Mohring is a Canadian film editor based in Toronto. After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in 2008, he studied film production at York University, honing his skills in editing and post-production.
Since then, Holden has worked on a variety of projects, including feature films, television, documentaries, and commercial work.
Some of his recent credits include XO KittySeason 2 (Netflix), Jane (Apple TV+), an indie feature Village Keeper (TIFF 2024), and upcoming indie feature Racewalkers.
With a fond memory of his early film projects at ECI, Holden is excited to see all the talent and innovation of today’s Eastwood filmmakers and future industry professionals!
Robert Murdoch (class of 2011) is a proud alum of the Eastwood Arts Program (or whatever it’s called now), and subsequently a graduate of the York University (BFA Film Production).
He credits his time at ECI with fundamentally allowing his life and career to unfold in a positive way — mentors and friends; facilities, equipment, and resources; and an environment which allowed for technical and creative exploration. It is a pleasure for him to give back and judge the work of the students this year.
He lives in Toronto and works in the film industry as a member of the camera department. Recent credits include “It: Chapter Two” (Warner Brothers), “Locke & Key” (Netflix), “Cruel Intentions”, “Gen V”, and “The Boys” (Sony/Amazon).
