Radio Project
We have just started a radio club at the college, which is attracting volunteers who want to help out not just in performing but also on the technical side.
We are in the process of deciding on the many different ways of producing our broadcast and what to include in the content. We have a small team of year 7 and 8 students who putting together interviews with various members of staff and students and are really excited about the project.
Radio productions are being used in schools in a variety of curriculum areas, especially the following:
- Speaking & Listening
- English, Music and Drama - eg. debating, recording compositions, original dramas etc
- Media Studies and Media Literacy - eg. learning how a radio station works
- Citizenship - eg. interviewing people from different sectors of the community
- PHSE (Personal, Health and Social Education) - eg. recording role playing or discussions on topics such as bullying, respect for all/diversity etc
- Languages - eg. making a drama or documentary in French, Spanish etc
- History and local studies, including oral history - eg. interviewing local residents
- Business studies - eg. making a business plan for a radio station
- ICT - eg. using digital editing software.
We will be going live soon!
