Hello.

Hello.
By Ng Jia Wei 11 Eta:



Welcome to the new Journalism webpage! Under the cut is more information about what kind of things can be found on the website. 

In the last term of Journalism of the academic year 2013/2014, efforts were finally put towards building a decent, navigable website (after about 999 years or something). Over the summer holidays, the main journalists put together this website, with a much more organized layout and a cleaner design than before. (Main members can be found here)

The purpose of this website is to be able to eliminate the pesky problem of ‘OMG WHY DOES THE EXAM TIMETABLE KEEP CHANGING’ and ‘ARE WE SUPPOSED TO MEET IN THE MPH FOR (generic) EVENT’ and even ‘IS THERE SCHOOL TOMORROW OR CAN WE SLEEP’ et cetera. All the information surrounding the school events will be consolidated here, so that everyone can look for the stuff they actually need. There will also be a full list of teacher’s emails so even though you were supposed to copy them down in lessons if you have any questions, you can directly email your teachers.

There will also be things like polls and competitions hosted on this website from time to time, so that everything is more easily accessible to everyone. Articles will provide coverage of school events and news from every aspect of the school day/term/year. There’s a convenient comments section below every article, so feel free to drop anything you want to say in there like if there’s a typo and you want to annoy us journalists by being grammar Nazis.

There will also be a tab to ‘Ask’ us things, and it leads to a simple Google Doc that you can then fill out to ask us about any questions or worries you have.  One of the main journalists will try to get back to you within 24 hours. Of course, don’t spam us with questions at 1 a.m., because we’re good students and sleep early and we totally do not stay up late watching anime.

We hope that this website can help out everyone and make the information accessing process much simpler and more straightforward. ☺


P.S. Unicorns can be found every once in a while, so do check back often. They say that finding one grants eternal youth and straight A* grades.

P.P.S There's an Easter egg on the website that leads to a page full of kappas. Finding it grants you a small prize. (This prize is not extended to the Journalism club members who already know about it.)
