The Life Channel launches at Ashfield Boys

18 Jun 2009

Over 70 key public figures and members of the local community turned up to celebrate The Life Channel Schools network's successful launch at Ashfield Boys' High School, showcasing its state-of-the-art in-school TV channel for the first time in Northern Ireland, 6 March.

The Life Channel Schools network, in partnership with Belfast Education & Library Board, delivers high quality programming, supporting key government initiatives such as the DENI's Every School a Good School and NICCY's priorities. The network operates as a communications platform for each school to communicate with their students, whilst other partners including the GAA, IFA, PSNI and CSPs can also add content designed to highlight community initiatives. The Life Channel also helps schools to tackle key issues children may come across such as child obesity, staying healthy and being safe.

"The Life Channel is already making a major impact," said Jim Rodgers, BELB Chairperson. "I have absolutely no doubt it will gradually grow and grow, and will prove a resounding success."
