Conisborough College Students Get Behind The Wheel!

Year 8 students stayed close to home in search of a story for the 2012 BBC School News Report. The team met and interviewed drivers from Catford Bus Garage to experience a day in the life of a bus driver!

Conisborough College BBC School News Report

On Tuesday 13 March 2012 our news-team: Annita, Joshua, Samuel, Dilexson, Abdoulaye, Ariel and Susanna, unpacked an assortment of posters, press passes and production equipment to create a newsroom within school.

From there, the team split into two groups with the first researching the stereotypes associated with Public Transport staff and the opinions of service users. The second group worked on staging interviews and practising the techniques required to make a professional looking news programme.

Spelling Bee with Colfe's

In April 2011, Year 7 students from both Conisborough College and Colfe's took part in a spelling competition, which was held at Colfe's School.

The Conisborough team performed admirably, with Taishan coming second!  Mr Davis would like to congratulate all the students that took part.

Seven of our Gifted and Talented students had the chance to visit the BBC Television Centre on Wednesday 16 March.  They recorded a piece for BBC Breakfast on Smart Phones.

On Thursday 11 March, 8 students represented Conisborough College at the National News Day, held at the City Learning Centre in Lewisham.

The National News day was a live event and some of the team managed to get a live radio interview with Alesha Dixon on BBC Radio 4.
