EdRugby Junior Reporter
Do you have students who have an interest in Sports Media? The EdRugby Junior Reporter program provides students with an interest in media the opportunity to access a Qantas Wallabies or Super 14 promotional event as an official EdRugby media representative.
A typical EdRugby Junior Experience will include the following;
- Meeting Australian Rugby and Qantas Wallaby Media Staff
- Interviewing a member of the Wallabies squad
- Taking photographs of the action
Following the event, students will be asked to compose a media article about their experience, which will be published on our website. A sample of these articles are posted below.
In 2009, we had Junior Reporters attend an international Super 14 Match in Canberra and a Student follow the Qantas Wallabies around for a day in Queensland. Their work is published below.
Teachers should consider suitable students for this program, and send details to EdRugby edrugby@rugby.com.au to be considered for 2010.
