Kids Cast - School Podcasting:
Today we have some staff from Kids Cast coming to show our school leaders their Podcasting platform. Our School Captains have been thinking of ways to increase student voice at the school (including a student newsletter). We will have a trial with the podcasting system and see if it is something we can introduce here at STM. We may need some support with some fundraising drives, but I will provide more details as they come to hand.
