Rosses Community School TY Media Week with Learning Waves – Listen Back Now!
Transition Year students from Rosses Community School recently took part in an exciting Media Week in collaboration with Learning Waves, where they stepped behind the mic to produce their very own radio show. From researching and scripting to recording and interviewing, the students explored a wide range of topics that reflect their world and interests today.
The show features in-depth interviews, discussions, and live performances — all crafted and presented by the students themselves.
