In Summer 2018, we launched this new Burnet News Club hub.
Our previous site is archived – all discussions and contributions from students are still available to view.
Below you will see the issues that the students covered year-by-year, with links to those discussions on the archived site.
If you are a Burnet News Club teacher and would like to access previous schemes of work, please get in touch.
