Article #1 – Students are asked to rewrite one of the nominated articles from Australian Catholics, summarising the information available. The supplied article should be 200-250 words, and written in an engaging, journalistic style. That is, short, informative and entertaining. We’re looking for comprehension of the original article’s points and then an ability to highlight one or two of those in an interesting manner.

Article #2 – Interview and justification. One of the tasks for the interns will be to interview people. For practice, applicants need to ‘interview’ (that is, ask questions) of someone to elicit interesting information. For this task, the interviewee can be a member of the family, friend or it can be someone in the community. In 250 words, tell us who you interviewed, why, and if you were writing the story what would be your main points about your interviewee.
