Community Media Project Expands
W
ESTERN Sydney's premier student - led news publishing initiative is expanding. The Bidwill Community project has evolved to now become the Chiĝey Community Media Project, talking in all Ĝve schools in the Western Sydney Chiĝey Network - Bidwill, Mount Druitt, Dunheved, Shalvey and Senior Campus. For the Ĝrst time, students from Ĝve schools will be writing articles and taking photos about school activities, local people and initiatives and
submitting these for publication in a dedicated section, which is published quarterly in the Blacktown News. Each school has lent passionate support for this ground breaking project, making it unique in the Australian school education system. You'll Ĝnd each school has its own dedicated section inside. We hope you enjoy reading the section as much we enjoyed putting it together. Michael Walls Group Publisher Community Broadcast Network
