Extra Curricular: Voices of Eltham College

For almost five years the school and local community tuned into Community Radio, Plenty Valley fm, 88.6, at 4pm on a Friday to hear 'Voices of Eltham College'.

The one hour program was live-to-air every week during school term. As a licensed presenter at PVfm I was able to gain air time for a student-based education program. As the producer I coordinated and co-presented each week with a group of keen DJ's. Students were given the opportunity to participate and learn about the medium of radio in a real-life, real-time situation and along the way develop skills in the areas of announcing, program formation, interviewing, pre-recording segments, applying music and sound effects etc.

We were serious radio producers and presenters but had a lot of fun at the same time! Our program, 'Voices of Eltham College' even won an award, a 'GOMMIE' for the best educational program on Plent Valley fm for 1996.
