Welcome to Alec Hunter Humanities College

It’s been an exciting week at Alec Hunter, with a visit from the BBC. Megan Tuck (Year 10) explains more:

Students in Year 8 have taken part in a practice run for the BBC School Report, helping to create a website full of video reports, audio clips, and written text reports on school news, local news, national news and international news. Two members of the BBC, Penny Spiller, a news writer, and Gil Roberts, our video woman for the day, came in to guide the Year 8 pupils and make all the students feel famous for a few minutes, reporting in front of the camera.

Students worked hard to get all reports ready and proof-read on the 4th February, with the help of Ms Whitaker, Mr Hammond and Mr Whitwell, throughout the entire day. Then they were off, recording, writing, printing and taking pictures, working together as a team to create the best possible website they could, for the BBC. Throughout the day the ‘Live Events’ team linked up with other schools from around the UK and shared ideas and stories. The overall day was a complete success, and again the talent of Alec Hunter Students shone through. The day has prepared the students well for the real School Report Day on 11th March.
