RadioAhead targets vulnerable or disadvantaged Year 6 students from local primary schools ahead of transition to secondary school.
We target vulnerable Year 6 students and offer them a highly stimulating, creative radio broadcasting and music making experience as part of Ocean Youth Radio. They work with student peer mentors and our staff to teach them how to: make jingles, interview, present live, produce features, write lyrics, songs and share their work through social media. The young people become part of the station, engage in masterclasses and come back once a month to broadcast a live show online at Ocean Youth.
In 2023, began offering all primary schools in Torbay a radio roadshow to support their students with transition to Secondary school.
Please find all of the shows done by the schools below:
