About The Show

In 2006 we were joined on 2RDJ by students from the following schools on air to co-host the programme; Five Dock Primary, Rosebank College, Darlington Primary and Newtown Performing Arts High.

In 2007 School Of The Month debuted in full on 2RDJ-FM as a monthly programme on a Monday between 5pm and 7pm with special episodes celebrating Education Week, School Spectacular and Meriden's 110th Anniversary.

The first full episode went to air on Monday 26th February, 2007 with four students from PLC Croydon hosting the programme.

In 2008, the programme grew in popularity following an appearance on Channel 10 News with Angela Bishop. Due to the popularity of the programme, the number of participating students was increased from four to six and additional episodes of the programme were required to cope with the increased demand.

The programme now features trivia, celebrity head and singing games. Special episodes of the programme were run for Walk To School Day, Education Week, MS Read-A-Thon and School Spectacular.

In 2009 an estimated 20 episodes of the programme will be presented and as such a name change to "2RDJ's After School Detention" was needed. Jase, Maria and Nikki hope you can join them for After School Detention in 2009 by nominating your school using the form below.

The students that get selected by their school to co-host the show will be presenting news, weather and traffic reports, sports reports, selecting music to be played to air and present their own segments such as short stories, interviews and reports. All music and segments the students present will need approval before going to air. Following the programme the participating students will record a 40KPH School Zone announcement to be played on 2RDJ-FM.
