The 6 Unspoken Roles in a Group Project
The 6 Unspoken Roles in a Group Project
As I sat in that familiar, dimly lit classroom on a Friday afternoon, period five, a sense of gloom hung in the air when my teacher announced that we had a group project due in a week. I immediately looked up to search for my name, randomly clustered with those of six classmates; I knew this was going to be a long weekend. Regardless of the subject, I’ve started to notice that my classmates tend to gravitate toward specific roles in a team. 1. The Team CarrierThe Carrier is the one who swoops in
The Complicated Marketing of Avengers: Doomsday
The Complicated Marketing of Avengers: Doomsday
Avengers: Cash Grab Doomsday is definitely a movie that you’ve heard of, thanks to Marvel Studios’ ambitious marketing. Robert Downey Jr. was unmasked as Doctor Doom on stage, but who knows how they’ll explain why one of Marvel’s most famous Romani characters looks like Iron Man? We know the cast of the film from a five and a half hour livestream of…chairs, and also that (sigh) Chris Evans will return as Steve Rogers from a theatrically exclusive trailer. The marketing for Doomsday is like noth

Lion Rock 2026
Student bands, swinging lights and amazing covers (plus an original song!) made up Lion Rock, KGV’s annual concert which rocked the school hall last night. For those of you who weren’t there, you missed out on quite the show put together by our brilliant student musicians with support from Ms. Carlile, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Edwards.Lion Rock saw bands playing songs that you might love (or be really tired of hearing) including Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor and Supermassive Black Hole by Muse (yes

POV: You Were Born In The Wrong Generation
You’ve probably felt it. That pang. A pull. Maybe while scrolling through a ‘Roaring Twenties’ Pinterest board. Or while binge-watching Bridgerton, wrapped in an era you never experienced firsthand. A yearn to be in that period. That nostalgia for a time you’ve never lived in, it’s called anemoia.Traditionally, psychologists have thought that nostalgia is based on our recollections of that experience. But this doesn’t really explain anemoia since people are yearning for something they never even

A Take on High Heels
TW: Discussion on feet. Mention of belly buttons.A few weeks ago, I was interning under a barrister for some awesome work experience. As an avid law enthusiast, I wanted to make sure that everything from my performance as a mini pupil to my attire was perfect during this internship…I won’t bore you with the lawyer details, but I do want to talk about high heels.I read the rules of court-room etiquette and appropriate wardrobe, and, seeing that my school shoes, Doc Martens, were unfit for my week
How Chess Teaches You to Fight for the Initiative
How Chess Teaches You to Fight for the Initiative
This essay is dedicated to Daniel Naroditsky (November 9, 1995 – October 19, 2025). We grieve over the loss of him, and may he watch us from the skies.“Never play for the win, never play for the draw, just play chess!” Alexander KhalifmanWhat do chess and life have in common? Some might say it’s the inevitable sacrifices or the permanent feeling of a ticking clock, but for me, it’s about initiative. Once, in a game with a powerful opponent, he demanded: “Do you even understand how to fight for t

Don't Feed the Machine - Creativity over Artificially Generated Efficiency
It started with ads for AI assistive writing software. Then AI-generated books, videos, and pictures started popping up on every Internet space imaginable. Then that amped up to ads purporting to teach me how to make money off a book I can write in 2 minutes with AI. Even in your everyday lives, you’ve undoubtedly encountered people using generative AI to do schoolwork.There’s a spectrum of usage: from initial generation of ideas, to technical/grammatical assistance, to asking ChatGPT to write a

Top Traits that Students Don’t Like In Teachers
Top Traits that Students Don’t Like In Teachers
One lunchtime, a few friends and I sat around a table, sharing our thoughts on what makes a class truly great or unbearable, and most of our answers were related to teachers. Our conversation quickly turned into a brainstorming session, and we realised that many of us shared similar frustrations. With that in mind, I interviewed multiple students and compiled a list of traits that students often dislike in their teachers:1. Giving an excessive workloadStudents frequently noted that too much work
