Out of School Hours Learning

Bo'ness Media Project

Bo'ness Academy in Falkirk is keen to involve its pupils in the development of Out of School Hours Learning opportunities and as a result, the senior pupils have formed a news group team to keep the school and community informed of activities happening in the school. 

They have played an integral part in developing the activity and are mentoring others to ensure its continuing success when they leave school.

In these clips, a senior pupil talks very enthusiastically of her experience and the benefits of working on the project.
