The Department of Education has launched a new multimedia hub aimed at giving NSW students a platform where they can share their views and creativity.
Announced by the Minister for Education, Sarah Mitchell the Student Voice Hub provides a platform to share and interact with content created for students by students.
“The Student Voice Hub is a partnership in learning and listening,” Ms Mitchell said.
“It will play a key role in building a better education system as student perspectives, experiences and aspirations shape and enrich our schools and communities,” she said.
“It will also provide students with opportunities to refine their writing and content creation skills, along with pitching their stories and ideas.”
Ms Mitchell said that as part of the student voices channel development, a network of student journalist teams across NSW would be established.
She said the student journalists would be mentored to develop and write news articles about their communities and schools.
The Department said content on the launch site included articles about student initiatives such as two brothers who raise awareness of racism by wearing one white and one black sock every day; a short film by a team at Punchbowl Boys High School on responsible e-gaming; student reflections on what the 250th anniversary of the Endeavour landing means to them; and a podcast by Macksville HSC students about completing Year 12 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
