On 24 November, a group of talented students from our Evanston Campus attended the ARCH D Podcasting Awards 2024, where they were recognised for their outstanding work. These nominations highlight not only their hard work but also the creativity and dedication demonstrated across all year groups, and the school could not be prouder.

Being nominated for an ARCH D Podcasting Award is a remarkable achievement. To be recognised means these students are among the top 10% of podcasters in the state for their age, a true testament to their talent and the high standards of work they produce in this highly competitive field.

Our Nominees and Award Winners

• Angelique  was nominated for Episode of the Year (Primary) for her episode, ‘The Lucky Day or So We Thought’, created during Leadership Day.
• Byron, Charlie, and Alfonso were nominated for Artwork of the Year for their episode ‘Injuries‘, recognising their creativity and attention to detail.
• Jett, Gianni, Izayah, Nicholas, and Parker received the Xavier Evanston Principal’s Award earlier this term, recognising their leadership and collaboration. Their episode ‘Euro Talk‘ earned them a nomination for Podcast Team of the Year.
• Amelia, Noah, and Carina were nominated for the Student Voice Award for their episode ‘Stories Around the Mic‘. They went on to win the ARCH D Student Voice Award for Primary Years in SA, a well-deserved recognition of their teamwork and inclusivity.

A Milestone Year for Xavier Evanston

This year marks a significant milestone for the Evanston Campus, with our first-ever nominations in group categories and our first-ever win at the ARCH D Podcasting Awards. The school is incredibly proud of all the students who participated in the podcasting program.

This experience has proven to be an inspiration, encouraging continued exploration of the creative medium of podcasting. The skills gained throughout this program will undoubtedly serve these students well in many other areas of their learning.
