The year continues to hurtle onward without our having any real say in the matter. This week has seemed especially uncertain in terms of the weather, raining endlessly at the beginning of the week, and now bright sunlight as your loyal correspondent types this missive to you.
This month, we excitedly debuted two new fanzines for loyal supporters of the school, the first covering essays written on pop culture during lockdown and the hesitant theatre trips that followed the slow opening of London that began late last year, whilst the second dealt solely with our music teacher's great love of only the most boisterous of musical art-forms, a collection of reviews of such bands as Kruelty, Fucked Up, Mizmor, and many others, all of which you can read about by signing up and joining the school's community.
To entice you, we have a brief page, one of the small stories also included in our fanzines, available for you to read here, taking its name from a Roman festival by way of an Ulver song.
In our English classes, our girls have also been studying The World of Lies by Stewart Sheargold. So moved was one girl, that she felt the need to contribute the following piece for your reading pleasure.
On our reading list for the next month is the upcoming, less than delicately titled Pan vs Dracula, a comprehensive deconstruction of children's literature that we are excited to see presented in paperback, which you can read a snippet of here, and Songs of Love and Hate, a musing on lost love and post-plague London.
A busy month then, you might say! We hope to see you all again at the same time next month!
