What's Happening In Secondary

Jiloa Journal

Dear Devonport Christian School Community,

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the very first edition of the Jiloa Journal, our secondary school’s new student newspaper! This exciting endeavour has been a labour of love for five of our secondary students throughout Term 2, and we could not be more proud of their hard work and dedication.

Students in the ‘school newspaper’ elective subject have spent the first eight weeks of term forming ideas for articles, interviewing staff, students and members of the community, as well as learning to write interesting and engaging news articles.

The Jiloa Journal features a variety of content, including exclusive interviews with the cast and producers of High School Musical Jr., an inside glance into musical rehearsals and a reflection on the Year 5/6 Beehive Project as an extra!

The Jiloa Journal is set to be published and distributed to families and staff this week. We encourage everyone to take the time to read and enjoy the wonderful articles and features our students have crafted. This newspaper is not just a platform for sharing news but also a celebration of our Devonport Christian School community.

Happy reading!

Warm regards,

The Devonport Christian School Editorial Team
