Sustainability. Environmental awareness. Some people would call these fads, but climate change is not going to be short lived. Unless we take action. Nowadays there is lots of talk about how to save our earth. Friends talk about it, family talks about it, people post about it on social media. ‘I spent the weekend doing volunteer tree planting’, ‘I joined a stream clean up’, ‘I’m going vegan, long term’, ‘I donated to a wildlife rescue organisation’.

Projects were entered into specific categories - such as material world, living world, technology - and within each category were prizes for first, second and third as well as highly commended. Several MAGS projects took out prizes, with a first and third p...

Anxiety on one hand and excitement on the other I reached for the door knob as I wondered. I felt like a little girl again as my eye sank inward And my mind lay plain. There was complete silence as I entered my first class I thought there was no way I could last. But somewhere in my heart I knew it was me who had to give it a start. I went ahead and introduced myself And all of a sudden there was a change I could sense. Everyone looked and then they smiled The experience was slowly turning sweet like candy to a child. Within an hour I made new friends But this is not where my story ends. Subjects and teaching styles are plentiful and vary; Practical or theory, there was nothing to worry.
