Tour of newspaper

Year 7 students from Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina campus were taken on a tour of the Fairfax production site after being published in the Newcastle Herald on August 23.

Students brainstormed, discussed, interviewed and edited to produce their entry for the Newcastle Herald's writing competition.

The students were mentored and motivated in a talk from Newcastle Herald journalist Mr Richard French about the life of a professional journalist.

The student's stories were complemented by photos taken by Yasmin Stimson, Gandhari Gurung, Jasmine McLeish and Taylah Grant.
