editors

We are delighted and grateful to be a part of this years’ school Chronicle. All three of us study English Literature, but have different and varying accompanying subjects. Floria studies Business and Computing; Lucy studies French, German and Geography; and Michaela studies History and Religious Studies. MSJ is a school filled with bright, academic, and creative minds, something that is mirrored very strongly throughout this edition. Every girl who contributed an article or a piece of writing has done so with a great deal of passion which shines through in each piece of work published. Subjects of a wide variety have been tackled in depth, such as ethics, medicine, human rights, and the arts, and we are sure you will all enjoy finding out what they have to say. This year, we have chosen to include a section of high-quality creative writing pieces, including poetry, descriptions, letters and short stories, to demonstrate the diversity of writing styles our school holds. We would like to say thank you to all the writers who contributed to this year’s edition of The Chronicle and wrote such amazing articles. We’d also like to thank Dr Jones for all the guidance she’s given the editors and the writers from beginning to end to ensure this project went smoothly. We hope your experience reading this year’s Chronicle is just as enjoyable as it was for us editing it.

Floria, Lucy & Michaela
