Nayland College
-
Nayland already has a very strong basis in communicating with the community. We have a 21-year-old newspaper which has been New Zealand's Secondary School Newspaper of the Year four times in a row.
-
We are very proud of Circuit and what it's achieved. And even though we don't even think much about it, it is completely produced using ICT.
-
Media Studies teacher Valerie Steel coaches students through the process of newsgathering and desktop publishing.
-
We also have a strong relationship with our local radio station. We have two weekly slots which we actually record here at school, and then download the file to the station where they put the backing music behind it ready for broadcasting.
-
We also have our own radio station for students. For three weeks each year the students actually broadcast right across Nelson running their own radio station, which again is completely done using ICT.
-
There are equivalent opportunities in other schools here locally, and what we need to do is share some of that learning, and share some of the fun and enjoyment.
