College media room upgraded

A $40,000 upgrade of the media studies area at Mahurangi College is nearing completion.

The new area includes a four-by-four metre green screen, connecting it to the main media room, a sound booth, and a mixing table behind a soundproof glass window. Media studies teacher Darren King says he is now looking for funding to start a student radio station in the booth to service the Warkworth community.

Head girl and Level Three media studies student Hannah Powell says students are looking forward to using the new facilities, which are expected to be ready early next month.
