To celebrate Teachers' Appreciation Day, BINUS Radio collaborated with Students Development Committee and Students Council. The students body held a fund raising in order to dedicate a special gift for their beloved teachers. They sold flowers and pins in three days. Many students were excited to support the programme by buying and giving the tokens to their teachers. The principal also set up a Greeting Wall for students to write messages for their teachers.
BINUS Radio took role to help announcing and encouraging the fund raising through radio. We also spread the Teachers' Appreciation Day fever by playing a beautiful song about teacher (in Bahasa Indonesia). Listen up! Thanks, Teachers! The world won't be the same without you :)
This is our 3rd BINUS Radio programme. The script was made by grade 6 students (and of course edited by me). This group was more creative than the others. They added a part of the song they sang as a part of the opening.
I like Nataasja's voice. She sounds cheerful, even though she had to repeat several lines which were too long/complicated for her.
Nadira, on the other hand, was more confident. She almost had no problem at all reading all her lines. However, her voice sounds a bit too serious.
I'll try to encourage them to come up with something less serious/formal in the future. Teaching students (elementary!) writing scripts is kind of hard though, especially when this activity is only an extracurricular programme held once (1 hour) a week. In these 3 radio programmes, I edited a lot it seems I am the one to write the whole thing (except for this one).
I also asked them to think of an opening jingle for our school radio. So far they hadn't been able to come up with anything. Maybe I should give them a real sample first.
So, what do you think of this school radio programme? Do you have any inputs/suggestions to improve this programme?
Our 2nd BINUS Radio programme was aired today! Now the students and teachers can listen to it in their break time. I know the quality of the recording is not the best, but well, we're still learning. And with the limited equipments we have, I'm proud that we can create this brand new programme in our school. Hopefully this programme can be a way to promote the 6 pillars of characters and social-emotional learning we use at school, also to maintain communication in our school.
In this edition, we got an interview with our VP, Ms. Karah, about leadership. Take a look on how BINUS Radio reporter, Rafi, interviewed her.

I also hope that students can be more exposed to "clean" and age-appropriate songs BINUS Radio carefully selects and plays rather than (mostly) obscene and inappropriate pop songs nowadays.
This is my very first BINUS Radio programme, a recorded school radio programme involving students as radio announcers, reporters, and music directors. Of course, there are still a lot of improvements to be made. I'm a newbie also in all this recording technicality. But this is a brand new programme in our school. All of the students were excited to hear their friends' voices aired through the school internal speakers over their break time.
