  31-01-2022 23:57
  
  Online school took its toll on the graduates in 2021.

• Local Church Supports Community Mental Health by Sarah McEwan (Tolworth girls')

  31-01-2022 23:34
  
  “The need for people to talk” is something said by so many, yet almost nobody follows through with. The much needed expression of humanity, often lost in the speed of life, of sharing what makes you laugh and cry, what gives you anger and fear; the overlooked suggestion of talking to others about personal problems has been repeated through many areas of my life.

It is only logical to think that a weapon capable of igniting global movements must be protected by heavy security. This weapon, however, lies in plain sight. Something so simple and easy to access, that you are only a click away from sparking a global movement. This weapon is none other than social media.
