Today was a great day. Victor, Audrey, Emmanuel and I met Mrs. Curran after school to discuss the School Magazine. This project is the third incarnation of the Piggybank, first started two years ago as a print magazine to channel the student voice.
Our new project was inspired by the Piggybank student magazine. Now, however, the new Student Council "Student Voice" forums have provided a new medium for student voice, so our magazine will have a completely different aim. Also, past attempts ran into cost difficulties, so we aim to take advantage of the student Laptop program to take the Piggybank online for a broader readership.
Our first meeting addressed the issue of genre and timetable. We decided that we would enlist the help of tutors to collect data by way of surveys in order to determine what sort of content to publish. We also set a vague timetable.
This project excites me. I have always been surprised that SIS, a school that has existed for 30+ years, does not have a student newspaper. It is my hope that this new project, currently nameless, will take that role down the future of SIS.
