Issue 4

In recent months, the Northern Territory Student Society (NTSS) has recruited many talented writers and student journalists, who helped the organisation to grow successfully and to cover more youthful stories of success in the Northern Territory. We’ve also started to partner with multiple local and national organisations that will help amplify the voices of students in the NT, and allow more young Territorians to be heard, while also promoting local opportunities for young people.

The Northern Territory has one of the highest birth rates in the country, hence showing the great focus we should put on our education and youth development. As a new government cycle comes along with the Territory election, changes must be made to ensure that Territory youth are the top priority and to help young people in the NT obtain adequate resources for success. Starting from this issue of the Student Spotlight Magazine, we will include a ‘Monthly Youth Career’ segment, where we interview industry experts while acknowledging the hard work of the people who helped to build a better Territory. 

Northern Territory is a state of potential, and we must not underestimate the power of our youths, especially in a new era of change where technological advances and breakthroughs are happening more often than ever before. As young people, we are more prone to adapting, which makes us the future of the Territory and Australia, and the engineers to a brighter future.
