Kool Kids on KOOL FM...Double Kool!
Groups of Room 5 students worked together to research, design, practise and present a radio show to be recorded and played 'on air' on a local radio station, KOOL FM 97.9.
Station Manager Colin McCabe provided helpful DJ tips to the students such as "wet your lips and smile" and he was very supportive of the class initiative.
Colin also provided technical support throughout the process and was impressed with the students final recordings. He offered Tairua School a regular weekly spot on KOOL FM in 2013.

Groups chose an ‘era’ of music to study and based their song choices from this decade. Another aspect of the group project was to select a local non profit organisation in need of support. Students approached local businesses for a donation; in exchange students designed an advertisement to promote their business on air.
