Priya Roy, Year 12
It doesn’t feel like it’s just the third week back to school from summer holidays. It feels like we’ve been here forever and we’ll be here for all of eternity. That’s not true of course, our next big break is half-term and then it’s winter and before you know it, you’ll be sleeping in until 2pm after having a Netflix marathon with (unfortunately) no chill.
As for the “News” section of The LGB Express, we’ll be primarily focusing on School Events and reminders for students of the secondary school about sports tournaments, talent shows, clubs, meetings, bake sales, student council events, and other events in Geneva. There will also be monthly recap videos from Prime StuCo as well as reviews of events written by students of LGB.
The past few weeks have been quite interesting and filled with school and staff and grading changes (character profiles) and timetable mishaps. We were welcomed back to school by Dr Conrad Hughes, the new secondary school principal, with an interesting perspective on his life, childhood and his personal interests, like playing guitar. You can relive that experience by watching this VIDEO.
