First Annual Wellington Girls' College Newspaper

First Annual Wellington Girls' College Newspaper to Be Released

On Monday the 24th November, a year 10 Media Studies class at Wellington Girls College will be releasing a student produced newspaper. “I think this is going to be fun. It’s a new challenge to make something like this all by ourselves, and it’s going to involve a lot of hard work, but I’m looking forward to it,” said Amandie Weerasundara, one of the students from the class.

The paper, the culmination of a term's work, will feature articles on world news such as the rise of feminism. There will also be a section on local news as well as a Christmas 'how to' section with great gift ideas for your family and friends.

‘You learn a lot more from having to work through everything, including all the problems yourselves, as a class, as a team, rather than having the teacher telling you ‘this is what you’re doing today,” said Jenny Whipps, editor of WGC4U.

Ms Breeze, the teacher in charge of the Media Studies department has described the paper as 'A magazine by students, about students for students.'
