Broadening perspective
The itinerary included visits to TV studios, film locations, and museums. The students explored Rockefeller Center, took in breath-taking views from the Top of the Rock, and toured iconic sites such as Central Park, Times Square, and the 9/11 Memorial. They also had the chance to cross the Brooklyn Bridge, visit the Museum of the Moving Image, and embark on a guided bus tour of famous TV and movie locations.
One of the highlights of the trip was the visit to the Paley Centre for Media, where students gained insights into the history and impact of television and digital media. Exploring Greenwich Village, Washington Square Park, and local markets added a cultural depth to their experience, broadening their global perspective.
Experiencing opportunities first-hand

By stepping outside the classroom and experiencing first-hand the opportunities available, students were able to gain a deeper understanding of the industry, which will also support their upcoming exams.
The visit showcased the breadth of careers available, helping students consider their next steps into higher education and the wider creative sector.
