Catholic students attend media seminar in Honiara

Twenty four students from four schools in Honiara have been told that media is for everybody.

The Assistant Coordinator of the Solomon Islands Development Trust's community media, Walter Turasi, made the statement during a media education seminar organised by the Catholic Communications Solomons.

Director Father Ambrose Pereira says the 24 students took part in the media education seminar early this month.

He says issues covered during the training included punctuality, peer pressure, teenage pregnancy, family values, environment and others.

Fr Pereira says the students also learned about basic script writing skills for radio and recorded programmes on the theme Family, the source of unity and peace.

The students also watched a video production by the SIDT media unit and how to shoot images using a video camera.

The Catholic students come from various high schools and institutions in and around Honiara.
