SYN Radio Tours

Try a taste of SYN with this short excursion. Students learn about community media by producing their own radio program in our production studio. Their program is podcast from the SYN website, so this excursion means students get a taste of media making for a real audience.

 

Schools On Air

Our most popular education program, SYN's 'Schools On Air' live radio puts students in our on-air studio to create their own broadcasts on community radio on 90.7 FM. Students are supported by a SYN trainer in the studio, and their program runs weekly for a full term.
 
This program includes online resources for students and teachers to support radio making, as well as a dedicated web page for your class to upload media and interact with other schools and young media makers.
