Journalism Club
at Ullens School
Estd: June, 2010
Objectives:
- To create a mechanism in school
through which it becomes interesting for children to engage in creative writing
and journalistic writing and have their work featured on the website, printed
in the forthcoming school year book as well as school newsletters or local
newspapers and magazines in the days to come. The idea is to support students
in writing reports, stories, poems, essays etc. which when published will reassert
the quality of education and the support to student initiatives at Ullens
School.
- Create an environment for students to work as a team, with students from other grade levels and get the opportunity to assume leadership roles and fulfill commitments.
