🎙️ Radio KPS: Get On The Air!

Radio KPS is "Your Place!" That means we want your voice on the speakers. Whether you want to celebrate your House, share a School Value, or tell us about your learning, here is how to do it.

📏 The "Golden Rules" of Timing

In radio, time is everything! To make sure you don't get cut off, stick to these word counts:

• The 5-Second Sting: 10 words or less. (Short and punchy!)

• The 15-Second Promo: 30 words maximum.

• The 30-Second Feature: 60 words maximum.

✍️ Starter Sentences (Fill-in-the-blanks)

The 15-Second House Shout-Out (30 Words) "Go [House Name]! We are leading the way this week because we’ve been showing amazing [Value] on the playground. Keep it up, team! Radio KPS… Your Place!"

The 30-Second Learning Report (60 Words) "Hi, I’m [Name] from Room [Number]. This week, we’ve been learning all about [Topic]. The coolest part was when we [Action/Activity]. It just goes to show that at KPS, we are always aiming high and trying our best! Radio KPS… Your Place!"

💡 Pro Tips for Star Broadcasters

• The "Smiley" Voice: Believe it or not, listeners can hear a smile! If you smile while you talk, you sound friendly and energetic.

• The Three-Finger Rule: Hold your microphone about three fingers away from your mouth. Too close and it "pops," too far and we can't hear your brilliance!

• Punctuation is a Breath: When you see a comma, take a tiny breath. When you see a full stop, take a big breath.

• Energy Check: Start strong and finish stronger. Your last line—"Radio KPS... Your Place!"—should be the most exciting part!
