S6 pupils today were lucky enough to have Fiona Stalker, BBC journalist, in to talk to them about human rights journalism.
The pupils had lots to ask her about how to write an article that will stand out above the rest. The topic of the referendum also came up as the pupils are excited to be voting next week!
ÂThe Young Human Rights Reporter award celebrates talented young writers reporting on a human rights issue they care about The competition is a national one and closes early next year.
