Shine School Media Awards

We are very excited to announce that The Ravensbourne School has been selected as one of the 16 finalists of the inaugural ‘Shine School Media Awards’. Our publication: ‘OUTLINE’ has been shortlisted for the Best Cover award.

The Shine project required schools to create a magazine or online publication written by students for students. Our press gang was made up of well motivated photographers, journalists, business managers and editors from years 7 to 13 who worked extremely well together on a weekly basis.

The ceremony will take place on Monday 27 June where the winners will be announced and prizes presented. All finalists will receive either winning or highly commended certificates and the winners of the Gold, Silver and Bronze awards will receive a cash prize as well as a fabulous media workshop day for three students at the Times Educational Supplement.

The Reception and Awards Ceremony is being held at Stationers’ Hall, in the shadow of St Paul’s Cathedral in London. Schools from across England, Wales and the Falkland Islands have been invited and it is anticipated that around 150 students, teachers and publishing industry guests will be attending what is sure to be a memorable and exciting event.

Congratulations go to all involved. Please look out for an article to celebrate the success of our students in the ‘News Shopper’.
The MediaArts Faculty would like to congratulate Mhairi Wyles-Lang and Gabrielle Simon on being shortlisted and exhibited on the prestigious Royal Academy A-level online exhibition.
Over 950 submissions from schools and colleges across the country were entered and 108 have been shortlisted. This is a highly competitive competition and we are very proud to have both Mhairi and Gabrielle’s outstanding work to represent the Faculty at this level.
