Look, we have a logo (thanks Lee Arkapaw). And our podcasting equipment arrived this week. Doesn’t it look exciting! We’re pretty keen to get our new podcasting studio set up and to start using it.

And also … we recently received an Education Week grant for an event that we’ll use as the official marker for this new community resource.

We got funding from the Department of Education to run a podcasting intro course here at ACC for local schools during Education Week, which is the last week of May. What a great way to kick things off hey? Creating, learning and community building with local students.

Alphington PS has taken up this opportunity and grade 5 and 6 students will be working with Tony Wilson.

Tony is an adult and children’s book author, former radio presenter (a fixture on RRR Breakfasters for a number of years), public speaker, speech writing connoisseur (visit Speakola - it’s a great online resource to read and watch the world’s most fabulous speeches), podcaster … and Darebin local.

Fun times! And thanks lovely friends from the Clifton Hill/North Fitzroy Community Bank for helping us get this up and running.
