Welcome to AS Media 2026!

  Hi,

Well done in making it to AS level Media Studies this year! It's going to be a fun ride :)

By now we would have had a chat where you would have been spoken through the year plan and given an overview of what lies ahead.

Here's your checklist of what to do today;

1. Create a Gmail accout to use for school (this should be sensible and include your name somehow)

2. Create a blog with your Gmail account and full name using Blogger.com 

3. Email me at bianca.dewit@cityimpactchurch.com with your log in details for your Gmail as well as your blogger link (username and password)

4. Create a Youtube account using your Gmail you've just created

Once you've done that, have a look through solme of the blogs of previous students and star to get an idea of what you're required to do this year.

Looking forward to chatting about this course, more! 

T-Bianca
