Issue 9.5 of the Lion’s Post OPENING STATEMENT

What a year 2022 has been! Many things have occurred in the world last year, both good and bad. With the escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War and the resurgence of the COVID-19 virus in Queensland, things are looking pretty bleak. Nonetheless, the future holds nothing but potential; amongst the darkness, there is always light. Never forget to take care of yourself with the same care and respect that you treat others. This issue is the interlude between our 9th issue, “Welcome to MacGregor” and our 10th issue, “Progress”. The aptly named Issue 9.5, “Memoirs from 2022,” features fantastic unreleased content from the MacWriters’ Team across the second semester of 2022.

Thank you for your continued support of the MacWriter’s Lion’s Post.

2022 was a turbulent year, full of surprises and obstacles for everyone, both inside and outside of school. As the head of photography for MacWriters, I am honoured to have captured the moments that mattered and to enhance the visual appeal of our magazine. As we enter 2023, I am confident that MacWriters will continue to thrive and achieve greatness, and I am eager to contribute more to the success of our MacWriters!

A warm welcome to everyone to our latest issue from the team here at the MacWriters. As every year advances, changes are always a constant, and while some changes bring progression, others bring setbacks. 2022 was a year to reflect. Whether it be the familiarization of the word ‘COVID-19’ on our tongues and the unwelcome isolation practices that seeped into our daily lives, 2022. For me, it was a year to absorb these historical moments. So whether it was a death of a monarch or an invasion of a country, may 2022 forever stay in the past.
