Congratulations to the pupils who represented Mearns Castle at the “Go Live” Radiothon on the 12th June.
The S4 pupils: Alana Daly, Calum Robinson, Megan Gemmell, Gregor Dron and Elijah Pina were a credit to their school and performed brilliantly on the day, with the regular presenters commenting not only on their enthusiasm, but also on how natural and assured they were “On Air”.
A particular mention has to go to Elijah , whom the professionals were so impressed with that he has actually been given his own regular Sunday night slot. (So tune in to 98.4 Pulse fm this Sunday to support Elijah and listen to his dulcet tones).
