On Wednesday the action moves to Ara’s campus, where attendees will be assisted by NZBS students to engage in hands-on activities like news-reading, presenting voice-breaks, using MOJO-kits, creating ads, and podcasting.
“Media teachers from around the motu will get to meet ākonga able to share how small class sizes make a real difference to their learning and share the opportunities they have to connect with industry throughout their degree,” Rae-Flick said. “Our team also plan to present our impressive placement statistics and industry demand for our graduates.”
Thanks to Ara’s relationship with Rubber Monkey, Australasia’s premier supplier of professional video, audio, photographic, and creative technology products, delegates will have the chance to win an $1800 RODEcast kit, including a microphone and stand.
Peter Sawyer, Dean of Education Culture and Services said it was a privilege to host some of New Zealand's top secondary school media educators at Ara.
“Partnering with the NAME Conference is more than a chance to showcase our industry-connected, highly regarded programmes at NZBS, it’s an opportunity to stand alongside the educators shaping the next generation of storytellers and media innovators,” Sawyer said. “We’re looking forward to catching up with them and sharing why NZBS is the launchpad for a future in Broadcasting Communications.”
NAME is the national subject association for Media Studies teachers in New Zealand. Established over 20 years ago, it has more than 200 members.
