The Burnet News Club is now on summer break!
Thank you for all of your fantastic contributions this year.
We will stop approving posts and comments at 5pm on Friday 17th July. You are still be able to visit the Hub for a short time after this but not to write anything. After Friday 17th July, you can still:
- take our final quiz (but you can't make any comments!)
- check out our post on the recent Burnet News Club Awards
- Read back over all the great posts and comments from this year!
We look forward to seeing some of you back on the Hub in September.
If you're moving schools and want to see if your new school can run the Burnet News Club, let your teacher know and tell them to tell us!
Remember, you can keep an eye on the news in lots of ways over summer, for example at BBC News and Newsround.
Best wishes from everyone at the BNC Team!

Unfortunately when schools close, we BNC workers need to take a break from the Hub to get everything ready to go for the new school year. Sorry about that!

Dear BNC,
First and foremost, I’d like to say thank you for all the wonderful opportunities you have given club members this year and last. Covid-19 has taken over all of our lives and suddenly, I have found myself not having the time to do what I love – writing articles about current affairs and making my voice be heard on the internet. School has been all over the place, especially since in a few months I will be starting Secondary School (they don’t currently use BNC, but I will mention it!).
Last year, I had the mind-blowing invitation to receive an award at Buckingham Palace for my contributions to the Burnet News Club, and I would, again, like to say thank you for (this may sound cheesy, but no exaggeration) the best day of the 11 years of my life.
I am incredibly heart-broken that at only the end of this week, I will no longer be part of this life-changing community. I wish all those who follow me the best.
Thank you,

Hi content_lemon,
It has been a pleasure having you in the BNC for the past two years and it has been brilliant to watch your comments and posts develop over time.
We know it has been very difficult not being at school and finding that even with more time on our hands, it's difficult to find the time to do things we like and enjoy.
Let us know where you're off to secondary school (if you want!) and we can let them know about the club and hopefully you can continue to take part there too :)
Thank you, Olivia! My secondary school is called “St Saviours and St Olave’s”. If I’m not mistaken, I think they may have participated in this club in previous years. :)

Hi, Burnet News Club! The secondary school that I will be going to is Saint John Payne! Please could you look into if they would like to join the club? Thank you!
I have really enjoyed my time using the hub, and I wish all the best to everyone going to a new school, or staying for the next year! From, intrepid_hurricane! :)

I hope you have a great time in that secondary school all the best wishes for you

Do you know when the record of the BNC awards will be out?
Hi fulfilled_starfruit, we have asked parents to contact us so we can send it directly to them (and you!). Could you ask someone at home to email us at burnetnewsclub@economist.com and we'll get it sorted!
18 Jul 2020
Can we comment/post? I have submitted one for approval.😑😑
We won't be accepting any more comments or posts, hopeful_city, the Hub is now closed until September. I've made an exception for these last few as they were close to the cut off time. You can still read other people's contributions, and take quizzes. We hope to hear from you in September!

Hi fulfilled_starfruit. Yes, if you're staying in the club then your account can continue next year.
