26 Mar Ulidia Students To Produce A Report For BBC Radio Ulster
Year 10 pupils have been involved with producing a report for BBC Radio Ulster as part of the BBC News School Report. The topic is about why adolescents find it difficult to talk and may self harm. The pupils promote how we can help. It will be aired between 5pm – 6.30pm Thursday 27th March on BBC Ulster 94.5FM.
Journalist Paddy O’Flaherty visited the college to organise interviews and train the pupils to use the audio equipment. Year 10 students Chloe, Arianna, Konnor and Ryan worked really hard on tackling this difficult issue by interviewing parents, an adolescent, a psychiatrist and even our own Darina Connolly. The report should end with telling the audience that our school is holding a mental health evening Wednesday 9th April to help parents and students discuss issues more.
