A compelling, engaging, and brilliant marketing tool. Told with sensitivity and understanding, and not afraid to show the 'bumps in the road' of transitioning to Secondary School.

At times, I thought I was listening to NPR! Principal Welsh is a great host and has a great voice for audio. This is a very well-produced podcast! I like that students were a part of it.

Student voice and perspective are so compelling and I loved the notion that the school is promoting this front and center.

SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
Insightful and perfectly pitched at students who may be confused as to their future direction. Quite inspiring.

I enjoyed the diversity of the stories and the fact that they focused on the different trajectories of students. It showcased that anything is possible and life can offer many choices beyond school — even the ones you never considered! Great way to showcase alumni.

I like how the podcast is also available for viewing on YouTube.

The Scots College

Sydney, Australia
Grades K-12, Boys Day and Boarding

SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
Incredibly useful and sensitively told. Full of good ideas for parents, particularly first-time parents. Very well executed and looks to be part of an excellent series.

The host and guests seem very comfortable with the podcast format. (The host sounds like he could be on BBC Radio!) It has a very professional feel.
