PINTV

PINTV will be hitting our screens week one term 3. Pukekohe Intermediate students are waiting in anticipation, for the first live recording.
Kevin Pope, Rebekah Pearson and Sarah Poutai have all been starting up this station since the middle of term 1. Everybody involved can’t wait to get started because finally all the hard work would have payed off. Roughly 40 students and staff altogether have there own specific jobs like for instance, 16 students will take turns as being presenters, a few of those students will go out and about round the school interviewing some of the top student athletes or achievers and also some teachers, some reporters will go to sports events as well so the school gets the inside scoop on everything and anything that’s happening at Pukekohe Intermediate.
This station has tried to be run before by Craig Bush and Kevin Pope but unfortunately the station became to hard to run as it was. But given the option Kevin wanted to try it again and with technology the way it is it was thought the station may be more of a success this time round.
The station is mainly to help kids know where they are supposed to be and when, the screenings will be every morning 5 days a week shown to the whole school. A special feature that didn’t happen last time was Te Reo Tuesday, which will help the students with Maori language.
“As a student at Pukekohe Intermediate I loved that we had the chance to be involved with PINTV,” says Karlene Hunter one of the presenters. All the kids had the opportunity to apply and be apart of the TV station weither it would be in front of the camera or behind there was a job for any kid who was prepared to put in the time.
