This weekly series, hosted by Year 10’s Chelsea C and produced by Flynn T, marks an exciting new chapter in student-led content at the school. The podcast is a fresh platform to engage the school community, giving students and staff alike a voice and bringing listeners closer to the heart of school life.
Every episode features unique, student-driven insights, from personal journeys to campus events. Chelsea and Flynn collaborate on every aspect of the podcast, managing the planning, recording, and production to ensure an entertaining experience for their audience.
From Alumni to teaching staff, to even Junior School students hosting an episode, the series brought in over 500 listeners in the first episode and continues to increase listenership each week.
Principal Rebecca Butterworth says “Student agency is at the heart of a thriving school environment and is essential for fostering independence, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking,” she notes. “This podcast is a fantastic example of how we encourage our students to take ownership of their learning, express themselves, and contribute to their community.”
With each weekly episode, The Grammar Grapevine sheds light on diverse topics and achievements, helping to strengthen the bonds of the Hunter Valley Grammar School community.
