What a fantastic year for news at LIHS. A huge congratulations to the SNT for their hard work and efforts this year. A particular well done to Tori Henderson and Chae Conte, our Year 7 SNT captains, who have worked tirelessly this year. 

Both Tori and Chae are frequently up on assembly reading news headlines, out interview staff and students, and working on upcoming print issues for the SNT magazine. The SNT would also not exists if it was not for our amazing staff at LIHS, who provided the team with news tips and allow the students to interview them about the many exciting activities and events at our school.

The SNT magazine was recently voted the best middle school magazine in all of Australia. The SNT won ‘Front Page’ 2020, which is a national competition endorsed by NINE Entertainment and the Sydney Morning Herald. The kids have won a set of iPads, a tour of the SMH, and a write up in the SMH. This is a huge achievement for the team, as well as Lake Illawarra High School.

The Student News Team are on a wave of fame after reaching national success and have also been interviewed by ABC Illawarra Radio and the Illawarra Mercury. Melinda James, breakfast radio host at ABC Illawarra, said that Tori and Chae spoke well and did a great job answering her questions. It was a change of scenery for our two news captains, as they were now the ones being interviewed!

The team were also interviewed by Agron Latifi, an education journalist from the Illawarra Mercury.

I’m incredibly proud of our LIHS Student News Team and how they have grown throughout the year. The Front Page competition has unlocked new avenues for the group and they are looking to take some big steps next year.

The SNT will be changing their magazine to incorporate teacher or staff written articles and will include more pages. The Black Swan magazine will reach a larger audience and report all a greater variety of school news.
