Great Half Term

Music Technology

I have attached some photos of my Year 11 VCert Music Technology students experimenting with Foley (using everyday objects to create the sounds for visual media ie: footsteps or ). They are working on unit 4 of the VCert which is all about sound creation and have been tasked with creating the entire soundtrack for a short wildlife video. As well as Foley, they will be experimenting with sound manipulation (using the iMacs), sampling and creating underscores.
     


     

The Wheeler Programme at Wellington

Good news; Jayden Jackson in Year 9 has been excepted onto the Wheeler Programme at Wellington Programme.

The Wheeler Programme is a funded education programme to complement and support existing school provision. This innovative programme brings together the experience of the current Independent/State School Partnership together with Wellington College and other strategic partners to provide regular academic enrichment, mentoring and support over a five year period to groups of students attending non-selective maintained schools specifically to encourage ambitious aspirations for the future.  Each year as the students go through the programme they will experience support and assistance particular to their needs through a combination of a yearly residential course, additional workshops and mentoring.

Well Done Jayden!
