Rebecca Casey, Year 5/6 teacher and ICT coordinator at Holy Trinity Primary School, Curtin, has launched a school podcast, ‘Holy Trinity Highlights’.

Each week Rebecca interviews members of the Holy Trinity school community about the latest student inquiries, community happenings and news. So far, the podcast has featured a range of interesting topics including leadership, classroom projects and what it’s like to be a twin.

“I wanted to find a way to share student ideas, comments and inquiries,” said Rebecca. “A podcast seemed to be a vehicle where students could be authentic and share experiences while our community members could listen in their own time. It has also been a personal bucket list item of mine,” she said.

The podcast has been a fantastic opportunity for students to get involved, reflecting on their learning and accomplishments, sharing with the world the wonderful things that happen in Holy Trinity.

“The podcast is a good way to express your passion and what you enjoy learning the most,” said Year 6 student, Eliza. “I thought it was a really good experience for everyone that got a chance to have a chill chat about their Exhibition.”

Charlotte, also in Year 6, said that she really enjoyed doing the podcast with her friends. “The set up with Mrs Casey was really well done and when Felicia and I talked, we flowed through it.”

“Student voice has always been highly valued at Holy Trinity and we see it as an essential element of learning,” said Rebecca. “As a teacher, I enjoy sharing my students’ inquiries and questions with others. Students love to share their passions and inspire people of all ages to think outside the box,” she said.

There are currently six episodes available. Each episode lasts no more than five minutes, so perfect for the drive to or from work. Tune in and subscribe to hear the wonderful voices of Holy Trinity students on Podbean or Apple Podcasts.
