On 9th March 2010 the BBC Community Bus visited Magherafelt High School to aid them in their preparation for BBC School Report News Day on 11th March 2010. 

Seven students of MHS benefited from the professional broadcasting and editing experience as they prepared to interview Irish Road Racing Ace, Mr Ryan Farquhar. (http://www.ryanfarquharracing.co.uk/).

They also interviewed one of the School Nursing team, Mrs McSwiggan, on her thoughts on Obesity and how it affects young people.  It was an amazing opportunity for the students to fine tune their interviewing techniques in the mobile broadcasting studio, to gain a full insight into the difficulties and magic that is live (and almost live) journalism.
