Centre Activities – Press Room (March 2009)

Friday, March 20th, 2009

You could be forgiven for thinking that students from Teesside’s primary schools were in the Riverside’s Press Room during their visits this week. They were in fact in the Study Support Centre’s TV Studio in front of a green screen with the Press Room superimposed in the background.

The students took on the roles of either the Boro Manager or a player and Scoop Daily, a sports journalist asking tough questions.

These videos will be embedded the student’s own unique web site that they have been producing during their time on our Playing for Success project.

Take a look at some of the student’s efforts.

Player Visit – Josh Walker (February 2009)

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Up and coming Boro youngster Josh Walker joined students from Captain Cook’s this afternoon at the Study Support Centre and his presence cause quite a stir. Reporters and photographers came to interview and photograph the latest Boro wonder kid but not Josh helped the students with their task.

The students were asked to rank the various ‘Qualities of a Captain’ in order of importance such as, ‘The Most skillful player’, ‘Someone who’s good at shouting’ and ‘Someone who’s cool and calm under pressure’ and Josh was on  hand to offer his expert opinion having captained England at under 17, 18 and 19 level.

He then answered the students’ questiontions about his career so far, future amibitions and his taste in music, turning up some interesting and unexpected responses. Finally the professional journalists got their chance to speak to the next big thing in a Boro shirt as students from Captain Cook said goodbye.
