• Should Christmas lights and displays be held back this year? - Kate Smith, Darrick Wood School

  05-11-2022 21:06
  
  It’s no surprise that Christmas 2022 will be drastically different from last year’s celebration: although the UK’s economic crisis has been brewing since late 2021, Russian-Ukrainian conflict has meant goods across the country have soared in price, leaving limited income for festive luxuries. As we move forward into the winter months, many look forward to the boost in morale that comes with celebrations from lights to markets- but with events such as Muswell Hill’s yearly

• The 47th Review

  05-11-2022 17:36
  
  The 47th is a play only describable as a chilling. A chilling memory of what was. And a chilling reminder of what could be. The United States of America is one of the world’s leading superpowers of today but for a land often described as utopic it is riddled with underlying problems; from class gaps to extremist groups, the self-proclaimed American Dream is one that is beginning to fade in the eyes of many. For many they felt the country reached it’s eleventh hour with the election o

• Solidarity in witnessing the spectacular, Phoebe Mills

Many say that witnessing the lights is a life-changing event – the only downside is that the wonderous phenomenon is natural and therefore unpredictable. In Iceland, the Northern Lights are usually visible from September to April but also depend on several other factors such as cloud cover, darkness, and aurora activity. For many students this was a once-in-a-lifetime trip with

If this critical bus gets cut, it will lead to many more interchanges and more women alone in the dark. Under the Conservative Government, one in five buses are under threat of being cut. This cannot be allowed to go any further.

  05-11-2022 14:20
  
  It’s hard to deny that exams are a crucial part of our learning journey - many may pose the opinion that scribbled answers in a timed paper under pressure is not the most intelligent method of determining the ability of a student.
