Take more Risks…Like our Young Smithfield SHS Newsreaders

Mt Sheridan Plaza/ Win News Cairns Young Newsreader Competition

Five very commendable senior students and their families drove to Mt Sheridan on Sat March 18 to participate in the Young Newsreader heats. All five shone beside their competitors. They experienced so many new and strange things: sitting behind a news desk in front of a live audience, speaking into a television camera, using a teleprompter and reading the news confidently and fluently. I might be biased but Smithfield impressed! Louise wrote, It was an exceptionally amazing opportunity and I learned a lot in those few moments.  I know what I can do better about my public speaking, and can work on improving beyond my current ability.” A gift bag including a retail voucher and certificate was a bonus. If you are in Yr 10 or 11 and considering nominating next year, ask Sorami O, Jack G, Louise M, Alex C or Tegan M what it felt like to be a “splendid sun” on television for five whole minutes?  [Pictured Sorami O]
