Robyn’s Week at GN

Last week we had the privilege here at GN to have another work experience student spend time with us. Robyn, who attends Year 10 at Faith Baptist Christian School is interested in journalism and we had the pleasure of bringing her along to meetings, story leads and to visit the radio station this week.

She also won our hearts by bringing in cupcakes on her last day! We hope she had the best time and was able to learn about journalism from behind the scenes.

I’ve lived in South Africa for 14 years, in a quite small house with a small back yard. We’ve lived here for nearly six months; however it feels like we’ve been here much longer. Gladstone is a massive change for me; it’s so calm compared to the busy city I grew up in.
In South Africa, I believe the worst part is traffic, everyone fear the road that leads to the bridges, where the trucks get stuck, because they don’t bother to do the math in order to realise that the truck is too tall to go through. Here it’s different; you feel comfortable enough in the car to actually take a nap.
