Media students at Bishop Fox's have just returned from Disneyland, Paris where they attended an international media conference.
28 students attended the prestigious Media Live conference which is held annually in Disneyland. While there they listened to presentations by Sony TV's Wayne Garvie, Heat Magazine's director, Mark Frith and Scramblr boss, Jane Young. The three speakers delivered presentations about the media industry, their achievements and advice for the future for those interested in pursuing media careers.
They then opened the floor for questions and interaction with the students.
Media teacher, Sally Dennehy, said, "The conference was awesome. It gave our students real world insight into the industry as well as opportunity to speak to genuinely successful professionals. It was inspirational and we would love to go again."
Student, Eddy Buck, enthused, "It was really interesting. Especially Wayne Garvie, who spoke to me in his own time and gave me a contact and some advice for developing my own career".
The students also had access to the park for the two days where they got to explore and enjoy one of the most successful media companies of all time.
