Media students celebrate 2010 achievements
Honiara: 9 October 2010 -- Students from five local schools gathered on Saturday 9 October to celebrate their participation in media education seminars during 2010. Guests at the presentation were treated to a screening of the students’ short films and also heard radio dramas and advertisements, all of which were produced at the weekend seminars throughout the year. Students and teachers from each school spoke of their appreciation of the program and how much they had come to learn about the media.
Special guest at the presentation, David Barrow from SOLMAS (Solomon Islands Media Assistance Scheme), told the students that working in the media was a challenging and sometimes a difficult career. However he encouraged them to consider applying for the Journalism Course at SICHE (Solomon Islands College of Higher education) in the future.
“What the country really needs are journalists who have been trained properly over the course of 18 months,” he said.
The Media Education Seminar program is organised by the Salesians of Don Bosco and Catholic Communications Solomons. It has been one of the objectives of SIGNIS, the World Catholic Association for Communications.
Students from Bishop Epalle, St John’s, St Joseph’s, St Nicholas and Don Bosco Technical Institute gathered for five weekends throughout the year at Don Bosco House of Prayer, Kola Ridge.
The program covered all aspects of the media with a focus on audio and visual types, and allowed students to reflect on the Pope’s World Communication Day message for 2010 ; ‘New Media at the Service of the Word’.
Seminar organiser Fr. Ambrose Pereira sdb, Rector praised the efforts of the students and thanked all those who have been connected with the animation and running of the entire programme. Recalling the World Communications Day Message, he encouraged the students to use the new means of Technology to spread good messages. “You have talent and qualities and are capable of harnessing technology to its maximum. A good journalist is focused and keeps to deadlines’, he said.
Don Bosco hopes to organise other Media Education Seminars in the future.
