MEET THE TEAM

As Editor in Chief of this magazine, I have created a place where students are able to express their voices and discuss subjects that they are passionate about. I have a love for journalism and hope to study it in the near future as this is what excites me. I am currently in the Lower Sixth and am a keen essay writer who loves to write about exciting topics. Hope you enjoy the magazine!

Hi, I'm Harry and I am the Deputy Editor in Chief. Thanks to this new student-run society, I have managed to get this opportunity. For me it is a chance to share and write about something that I'm passionate about, whilst I aim to broaden my knowledge and also learn many useful skills at the same time

As the team who wrote, Earthquakes affect Turkey and Syria - What comes next? Together we have researched about these events as we all felt touched by the effects that follow, we have found this task beneficial for not only us but also the reader. This platform gives students a voice, and we found this a good platform to raise awareness of the recent events.

As a group, we share one passion, and that is our passion of football. Therefore, we decided to write the article, How high can you go before FFP ruins your flow? We found this fitting as it is currently in the media and its results can have large affect on the game we all love. We have spent this term compiling our research into an article, that we hope you all can enjoy as we share our passion, allowing you an insight into the realm of sport.

What is Chigwell Chatter?

Chigwell Chatter is a magazine that gives students the platform to express their views and opinions in a way which is accessible and will educate other pupils within the school. Prior to Chigwell Chatter, there was no formal studentdriven publication and we wanted to fix that! Journalism Society saw theidea pitched to facilitate a magazine, empowering students to be able to write an article, take photos or just be involved a team effort and the enthusiasm was thunderous. With the help of Miss Nairac and support of other peers (Mr Davis in Reprographics & Design – thank you!), we have been given an opportunity for a different student voice to be heard through Chigwell Chatter. There are over 20 students who have been working together produce this magazine, spending all term writing, editing, and compiling work for this magazine to happen and I can’t even begin to express how pleased I am with everyone’s efforts and commitment as well as how this magazine has turned out. Chigwell Chatter is a place where students from Removes through to Middle Sixth can showcase their interests and talents, aiming to educate pupil on topics they find interesting and hope to be able to pass down our own knowledge to other students in the school.

What do we hope for by writing this?

We hope to inspire people to write about subjects they are passionate about and to offer them a place where their student voice can be expressed. Seeing all these articles come together was a heartwarming experience for us all as I saw the magazine take form and come together, with everyone’s efforts taking shape to create this magazine.

How was Chigwell Chatter produced?

After the initial idea of the society received lots of interest, I was able to gather a smaller initial team and we got to work on looking at ideas we wanted to write about. In small groups, the sections were created, and editors were appointed. Following the initial pilot of this magazine, we faced challenges and obstacles we had to overcome. As a team we met and had to rethink as well as rework the process to make sure that this edition is what we truly wanted and so we hope that you all enjoy this true first edition. As the Chief Editor, I have overseen the process and along the way helping people to create their articles. I have been incredibly proud of all the hard work and time the team have put towards making this magazine. Thank you for your support in reading this edition, and we look forward to the next!
