Subject: Newsroom We combined our enegy with the Radio stream in class to bright spark ideas for the first radio show from the TAFE diploma students. The theme - food. Lots of ideas went around the classroom. The next trick was to narrow it down to what went to air and what went to print. … Continue reading Life in the Newsroom
2021. It arrived.
Photo cred - Tumisu You're probably wondering why I am only just getting around to talk about the arrival of 2021, especially as we are barelling through March. I started back on my TAFE journey at the start of February. It's full on. I find myself grasping for breath some days. This year we have … Continue reading 2021. It arrived.
That finish line is looking finite…
Here we are, it's the final week of the TAFE Journey 2020. It was a different journey this year, not just because of the subject, or because of COVID, but merely because the teaching approach was different. Actually, there were some similarities in the subjects of Journalism and Marketing, which increased the strength in my … Continue reading That finish line is looking finite…
Where did the time go…
Back in May, I added a page to this blog - My Musings. This was so as to tempt me to write something on a regular basis. I just didn't get there. This has been a wild ride this 2020. I don't say this because of COVID 19. First off, I could not find the … Continue reading Where did the time go…
Originate and develop new concepts – a class for my Marketing Diploma.

This class was a load of fun. It was right up my alley. We had a Teacher who was incredibly friendly, and taught with confidence. She showed us presentations that were really interesting, and introduced a bunch of tools to use in the marketing space. In a nutshell the brief was: HaeBae Entertainment, one of … Continue reading Originate and develop new concepts – a class for my Marketing Diploma.

Fantastic plastic, how it disrupted the planet… (a long read, but worth it)
As I said in my earlier blog, this Diploma consisted of four subjects and four teachers for the first semester. Every class was intense, with four different pathways, each with their own assignments. To be honest, I didn't know what I was stepping into when I enrolled. I took to the research class with passion. … Continue reading Fantastic plastic, how it disrupted the planet… (a long read, but worth it)
2020, not what we expected…
I started my year with excitement, mixed with a slight degree of nervousness. At the tail end of my Journalism course last year, I made a decision to do my Diploma in Marketing rather than go on to doing the Diploma in Journalism. It was a last minute decision. I figured I should bring my … Continue reading 2020, not what we expected…
Owning the Writer that I am – Kerri Ellis
I stepped into the world of journalism in June this year. I went in with a limited concept, thinking I was simply going to learn how to be a better Writer. Rather, for the past six months, my skill set skyrocketed out beyond Earth's stratosphere. Journalism is far more than researching and writing a story, … Continue reading Owning the Writer that I am – Kerri Ellis
Face to Face – story by Kerri Ellis

Sounds easy eh?! For a novice, it was one of the hardest things I ever had to do (I talk … Continue reading Face to Face – story by Kerri Ellis
