We are thrilled to announce that schools and community groups can now experience the inner workings of the Seven Network through exclusive behind-the-scenes studio tours. These guided tours offer a unique, immersive look into the dynamic world of news and television production, giving participants a rare, hands-on opportunity to see how 7NEWS is created and broadcast daily.
Explore the Heart of News Production
During the one-hour studio tour, groups will journey through the bustling newsroom floor, advanced control rooms, and state-of-the-art studios. Students will have the exciting chance to sit at the iconic 7NEWS desk and read from the autocue, mimicking the experience of professional news anchors. For those fascinated by the technical aspects, the tour includes insights into cutting-edge control room technology and visits to hair and makeup rooms, showcasing the complete production process.
Tour Availability and Suitability
These tours are available in each state capital city across Australia and are designed to be suitable for both primary and high school students. They are particularly well-suited for leadership teams or students with a strong interest in public speaking, writing, media, or technology. Each tour can accommodate a maximum of 50 participants, depending on the specific location, ensuring an engaging and personalized experience.
Enhance Learning with School Visits
In addition to studio tours, the Seven Network offers presenter-led school visits that can accommodate entire cohorts. Experienced 7NEWS on-air talent from each state are available to attend school assemblies, graduations, or career days. These visits provide valuable insights into media careers, explain how the industry operates, and include interactive workshops on presenting and public speaking, along with Q&A sessions to foster student engagement.
How to Request a Tour or Speaker Visit
To request a studio tour or a speaker visit, interested groups can simply submit an expression of interest through the provided platform. Due to high demand and limited availability, groups will only be contacted if selected for participation. This initiative aims to inspire the next generation of media professionals by offering practical, educational experiences in a real-world broadcasting environment.
