Teachers put on notice

- By CONOR BYRNE

THREE Darwin school students may have found a way to become immune from the wrath of teachers.

Essington School media students Jake van Dam, 14, Chris Melkins, 14, and Chad Blenkinshi­p, 15, are the Live Action Brothers and have found the power of the microphone on the school’s Wednesday slot between 4pm and 5pm on 91.5 Darwin FM.

The Year 9 students present four segments: Chris’s Grudge Grumble, What a Song, Chad’s Quiz Time,

I’m looking out for teachers doing anything they shouldn’t be doing

and the controvers­ial ing the Teachers.

‘‘ I’m looking out for teachers doing anything they shouldn’t be doing,’’ Jake said.

‘‘One of the teachers was

Bust- wearing a bracelet,’’ he said. ‘‘One of them was out of uniform. They don’t want to mess with me.’’

Jake is hoping for a career in sports broadcasti­ng — specialisi­ng in basketball or Aussie Rules.

He will attend senior college next year but hopes to keep up the show and score a slot at a larger local station.

In his Grudge Grumble, Chris grumbles about things he doesn’t like.

‘‘ Once there was piercings,’’ Jake said. ‘‘Then there was homework. All firstworld problems.’’
