Voices of Thanet College

A combined initiative was organised this year by Thanet College and KM FM radio to 'tour' local schools for a week. Students had the chance to appear on the local radio station.

Students auditioned 'X Factor' style which gave them experience of an interview scenario. Members of Thanet College's Senior Management Team transformed into talent show judges for the day to pick the "Voices of Thanet College".

The Principal Sue Buss, Deputy Principal Anne Leese, and the Director of Business Development Karen Evans took on the roles made famous by Mr Nasty Simon Cowell and Ozzie's wife Sharon to give a group of students the chance to appear on local radio as part of a combined initiative to promote Thanet College
being run by the college and KEF. The adverts and questions recorded were played live on air during the week the schools tour took place.
