Using Garageband to Create Radio Advertisements


A small group of 10-11 year old students had the opportunity recently to spend 3 days working with Carol, through Natcoll's NET Programme. The focus was on using Garageband as a creative multimedia tool - of course there was a lot more learning involved than that!

This is one of the fun, but challenging, activities they worked on - to create a 30 second radio advertisement. Being the last week of the year, they didn't quite have enough time to fine-tune their work in terms of being precise with timing. Nevertheless, they did an awesome job, first time up! These are amazing radio advertisements - just like the genuine article.

Simon's Dreadlocks have GONE!

Teacher, Simon Dakers has had his dreadlocks for more than 12 years!

But today he shaved them off to raise funds for child cancer (and raised over $1000). Isn't that amazing?!

Donations were made for the priviledge of cutting off a lock. Simon's wife and his dad helped with cutting off the locks, and teacher Rachelle Watson did the finishing touches.

Simon says his head feels a lot lighter. Doesn't he look handsome!
