Year 8 student Shannon Kiernan was the winner of the £165 gadget, which acts as a portable media player and personal assistant and boasts a touch screen display; Wi-Fi access which allows users to browse the web and send emails; and 6 GB of memory to store media files including photographs and music.
She said: “I can’t believe that I’ve won it because I’ve never won anything before! I’m really pleased - I can’t wait to show it to my sister.”
The competition was made available to all students at Oasis Academy Brightstowe via an online questionnaire which entered all participants into a prize draw. BAM FM decided to run the competition across all the Bristol schools it currently works with, including Oasis Academy Brightstowe and Henbury Secondary School, in an effort to gather valuable feedback on how the students view the school facilities.
The prize is to be presented in a celebratory assembly by Principal Julie Winterman and BAM FM representative Lucy Horseman, who is Catering Manager at the Academy.
Julie Winterman said: “We would like to thank BAM FM for making this fantastic prize available to our students. We aim to encourage and reward student participation here at the Academy and are keen for our students to feel that their views can make a difference.
We are pleased that so many of them took part in the competition and hope that their feedback will assist BAM FM with their review and help them to provide an even better service.”
