Last term the OC took part in the Channel 7TWO television program It’s Academic and yesterday we received our broadcast dates for our episodes. The program is on 7.30am weekdays and our episodes will air from
Monday 9th June 2014 – Friday 13th June 2014.
Our school will also receive a DVD of all the episodes our students appeared in but only after it has gone to air.
Today was very exciting as our prizes for competing in the Channel 7 game show It’s Academic finally arrived! All contestants and our 2 reserves received a Monopoly board games and some snazzy looking earphones. Enjoy!
Well done to our OC students who participated in the Channel 7 television program It’s Academic yesterday. We left very early to travel to Foxtel studios in Sydney to begin filming by 8am. Our school competed against students from Dapto and Dubbo primary. We enjoyed our very own luxury green room where we were able to watch the program while it was being filmed. Some of the highlights of the day included hair and make up for our superstar contestants as well as the random spotlight questions which our students excelled at! Unfortunately our episodes won’t be aired until next year and we will receive a DVD of the episodes after broadcast. Prizes for contestants should hopefully arrive soon!
This week permission notes were sent home to OC students about the excursion to Foxtel Studios to take part in the Channel 7 television program, It’s Academic. Our recording day has been confirmed for Week 6 next term, Tuesday 20th August. In the lead up to this event we will be practising using example questions from past episodes. Our school will be represented by 15 students (5 teams of 3) plus 2 reserves. Some students have already expressed an interest in preferring to remain behind camera instead of in front. Regardless of this, all students are welcome and encouraged to attend this excursion, cheer on our school, learn about the television production process and enjoy some star treatment in the green room (I wish!). If you have any questions, please let me know. A copy of our permission note is also attached for you below.
It’s official – our OC students are set to become TV stars! This week we received our official invitation to participate in series 18 of the Channel 7 education program It’s Academic. Students will get the opportunity to visit Foxtel Studios in Sydney where filming will take place next term. So contestants, hands on buzzers and get ready for the show!
