Real-World Coding Skills

Enhance Media Program and subject tech integration

South Island School has revamped its Media Studies qualification by implementing the BSD Program, which integrates Science, Math, and Interdisciplinary Studies. This initiative replaces the traditional GCSE with a modern curriculum designed to equip students with essential skills for the digital age, including a BSD Coding Award for the top graduating student.

Our Solution

To address the need for a more relevant media education, the BSD Program introduced engaging course content and hands-on projects. This approach fosters creativity and technical proficiency, encouraging students to explore various aspects of media production. Parental support has been instrumental in promoting the program, enhancing its visibility and appeal.

The Results

The program has seen a significant increase in student participation over the past two years, reflecting its success and effectiveness. Looking ahead, South Island School plans to deepen technology integration within the Media Program, further preparing students for future educational and career opportunities in the evolving media landscape.
