Amplifying Voices: Storytelling with James Meston on 1079 Life FM
Amplifying Voices: Storytelling with James Meston on 1079 Life FM
This week we welcomed James Meston from Arch D Radio on 1079 Life FM, who worked with some of our passionate senior Justice And Mercy (JAM) students to teach them about the power of storytelling through podcasting. The students shared stories about culture and the value of their experiences in the JAM program at SAC. This platform is a great way for students use their voices and address causes close to their hearts.
students’ reflections:
“Though we were nervous to begin with when initially entering the recording booth, we quickly warmed up and were able to enjoy ourselves and have fun, casual conversations. We learnt a lot about ourselves, each other, and podcasting, overcoming the belief that there is such a conspiracy as a ‘podcast voice.” – Retha Muradi 11DT & Zahra Irfani 11DT
“Zahra, Yenuli, Retha and I participated in a school podcasting program. This amazing opportunity has given us the chance to excel in podcasting and talk about a topic we all were interested in, which this case, was our different cultures and experiences living in Australia. Over the course of two sessions, we learned how to record and structure a podcast. This experience allowed us to appreciate our diverse backgrounds, share unique perspectives and strengthen our bond as a group. Overall, it was a rewarding journey that enhanced our technical skills and our understanding of each other. We hope our podcast inspires others to embrace and share their own cultural narratives and more students enjoy this as much as we do!” Mariya Zaghwan 10SN
