BBC project

Doon Academy’s BBC School News Reporters have been selected by the BBC to be one of 10 schools in Scotland to work with the BBC on a Media Literacy/First Click project. The reporters will work with older family and community members to learn together whilst researching a topic of their choice. The participants will have access to BBC archives and the chosen topics may be commissioned by the BBC for broadcasting on television and radio.

BBC Blast

The S3 Media Group had a really interesting and informative day when they visited the BBC Blast event which was held at the Low Green Ayr. The group worked with BBC staff to write and record ‘Sketching Britain’ a radio comedy sketch show which was broadcast on the BBC Blast Out Loud radio programme. Lauren said ‘It was a great day and I really enjoyed recording the show in the sound booth’.

BBC School News

S1 BBC reporters were delighted that former pupil and Women’s European Tour golfer, Pamela Feggans, was able to spare time to visit the school. Craig Mitchell, Lauren Shaw and Hayley Mitchell interviewed Pamela, for the BBC, about her career as a golfer and her experiences as a pupil at our school. Pamela brought along some of her trophies to show the reporters. The trophy she is most proud of is the All American College Trophy, which she won for being the top golfing student in America. Everyone at the school wishes Pamela the best of luck in the Women’s European Golf Tour that begins in May.
