PCS Podcast: Recent Episodes
Parkes Christian School Multimedia Team
Stay in touch with all the news and views from Parkes Christian School. We also feature student work, interviews and some fantastic music. The whole podcast is written, recorded and produced by the Multimedia team at PCS.
Today we have a bit of a mix because this week we were live on 97.9 Valley FM. It’s so great to be able to do a live show on our local community radio station, the kids really get a buzz from being live on air, and they do the entire show themselves. Marcus, Sophie and Alex all recorded segments for the show, so today they will be the features of our podcast.
Welcome to our Special Expo Edition! Last Monday we had our annual enrolments Expo and it was another fantastic evening. I caught up with a number of people on the night, plus I had a chat to Mr Westcott about our overall enrolments process. The announcement of the cast of our new show Alice in Wonderland has been made, so we’ll hear one of the fantastic songs from last year’s award winning show Seussical the Musical.
For this episode I sat down and had a chat with our High School Captains Marcus Moss and Matilda Wilson. They are doing a great job and I know you’ll be impressed with what they have to say. We will also hear from a Swiftie talking to a Brownie about pop music.
