Issue 3

As the organisation grows, it is exciting to see the number of submissions increasing, allowing our team to know a little more about other young people in the Northern Territory every day. Journalism is interesting because it has limitless learning opportunities. Meeting new people every day, and knowing what is important to them is what makes the Northern Territory Student Society and the Student Spotlight project a representation of the voices in the Darwin community.

Many national and international achievements by students from the Northern Territory can be seen in this issue, with many of them being the first time in history. It is with great pleasure that as a young person in the NT, I can witness these historical moments that will change the focus of our education development.

The Northern Territory has been long-regarded as the ‘desert for talent’, as this is how the national media would portray us through the various reports of youth crime. However, the presence of these outstanding young people are testament to the change that is being made. The Northern Territory Student Society, along with these young people, will stand firmly against the stereotype of being talentless.
