Student journalists host Hiki No

Celine Isabelle Arnobit, Reporter

Sacred Hearts Academy is the host school for the month of October’s Hiki No, the nation’s first statewide student network. Shows broadcast on PBS on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.

Sophomores Kailanianna Ablog, Mariko Galton and Frances Nicole Tabios are working with tech coordinator Randall Pong in creating factoids about Sacred Hearts for the upcoming program on Oct. 30.

Pong said, “Hiki No is a student-run network that travels to different schools around the state to cover what’s happening at the school and locally. Hiki No is also a chance for us to [educate] people who don’t know a lot about our school.”

The segments will feature different programs of the Academy, including robotics, sports, performing arts and the Girls Who Code Club as well as inform viewers about the rich history of Sacred Hearts and the surrounding area of Kaimuki.

The reporters are pleased to participate in this segment of Hiki No.

Tabios said, “Although it’s a lot of work, I feel privileged to be doing Hiki No because I get to inform people about our school, and it made me appreciate our school more.”

Galton learned something new.  “I thought it was a great experience to work the camera and learn the different frameworks and positions that are used to make a great video.”
