Newstead College's Alyssa Webb has been studying journalism, so jumped at the opportunity to become a student journalist.
"It sounds fun and is something I'd like to do," Alyssa said.
Cael Wilkinson-Reed, from Deloraine High School, said journalism was also one of his prefered career paths.
"There's more to it than I thought," Cael said.
The group have been taking through story development, interview skills, editing, newspaper layout and online media in the hands-on program.
Topics the students are writing about include health, education, environment, music and sport.
Momentum will be inserted into The Examiner on Friday, September 27.
