Without Mr Hureau, many of the facilities at RCHK today would not have been here. After 11 years, we bid farewell to a crucial piece of our school — our unsung hero.
About the truth …
It all started when…
The RCHK Truth grew out of a Year 11 English media unit. In 2017 students were challenged to produce two online newspapers and compete for circulation. The response was slightly fanatical.
In the era of fake news and alternative facts, a forum for fact-based reportage of school, local and global news stories added edge and impetus to the establishment of a permanent newspaper serving the RCHK student community.
The newspaper now seeks to publish new content on a bi-weekly basis and to offer students the chance to express their views through news reports, opinion pieces and creative writing.
As a vehicle for student writing The RCHK Truth lives by its motto “Verity. Voice. Vision’ and hopes to encourage all to appreciate the value of a free press.
