Friday’s Media Teams have once more been out and about all over the school’s campus capturing the tumult of undertakings happening in 2014’s Activity Week.

Different teams of roving reporters have been capturing the action all week in various groups and adding them to this blog. With today being a mixture of final activities and rehearsals for this afternoon’s showcase, it was full steam ahead and no stop till lunch time…

Pressure in the Newsroom as the teams race towards deadlines.

It’s a Wrap!

In all, it’s been an excellent week that’s been well and truly documented by the year nine press teams. With speed training in filming and editing, the likes of which that would make Lewis Hamilton feel queezy, these teams have been in the classrooms, on the fields, in the drama studio, over shoulders and generally behind every scene, acting as your eyes and ears into multiple projects and activities.

They’ve faced and met fraught deadlines and dealt with the pressure of working to that all demanding final wrap when the whistle blows, the dust settles and the ink dries. (Or the pixels in this case) Enjoy!
