Six students from Catholic schools around Melbourne have been hard at work this week planning articles for the Spring edition and learning about publishing on our media internship program.
The students are spending a week at the Australian Catholics offices in Melbourne, working with editors Michael McVeigh and Fr Andrew Hamilton SJ, and learning from professionals in the field.
Our guest editors for the youth edition are:
Elise Ho – St Aloysius College, North Melbourne
Kyla Dwyer – Kilbreda College, Mentone
Abbey Maffescioni – St Ignatius College, Geelong
Chiara Fankhauser – St Ignatius College, Geelong
Mieke de Vries – Avila College, Mt Waverley
Beatrice van Rest – Avila College, Mt Waverley
This year’s youth edition is focusing on ‘Family’, and the students have been planning and writing a range of articles exploring the theme.
Keep an eye out for the edition, which will be out in late August.
