Sporting Personalities meet Reporting personalities
The Media Club were extremely lucky to have been offered two VIP tickets to the televised Sports Personality of the Year Awards held at the BBC Centre in Media City, Salford, on 22nd December. It is a very presdigious evening and Adam Bailey and Jack Carson (year 9) donned their uniforms to join celebrities on the red carpet as they arrived for the event.
The boys were an absolute credit to the school and demonstrated a natural flair for journalism as they interviewed Luke Donald, Darren Clarke, Andrew Strauss, Rory McIlroy, Mo Farah, Dai Greene, Amir Khan, Alastair Cook, along with the winner Mark Cavendish and many more. Adam said "My sporting hero is Mark Cavendish and while I was interviewing him, it was like I was in a dream." For Jack his highlight was interviewing Amir Khan "he's been my boxing idol ever since I first saw him fight. He told me if you're disciplined, you can achieve anything in life". Both Adam and Jack said that being sports journalists for the evening felt really professional, "It was exciting to be part of something so big and really good to be on the red carpet with a microphone interviewing celebrities."

A practice filming day at the BBC!
On 8th December, through our links with the BBC and the BBC School Report project, CHS Media Club members Sophie, Katie and Faye spent the day writing and reporting on local and national news. They created a 10 minute news programme at the BBC studios in Salford in collaboration with three students from Malbank High School, Nantwich. After brainstorming their news ideas, the students broke off into small groups to produce packages about the recent public sector strikes, teenage stereotyping and the BBC Celebrate Sports event. Faye from Congleton and Will from Malbank were lucky enough to catch a last minute interview with footballer Phil Neville as part of their report on the BBC Celebrate Sports event.
