Editors’ word: In this issue of “Chance”, you will find information about our school and what students have been doing throughout the year. We have included some articles on human rights and on whether looks really matter. New students have also made a page about their own experience at this school. The issue features a blog from Year 12 students about their thoughts on the IB programme, IB photographic art essays and an art gallery of various pieces that they have created. We have also included reviews of the plays “The Elephant Man” and Agatha Christie's “The Mousetrap”, as well as some beautifully crafted poems on poverty and life, French comics and a collection of photos taken during HS Book Week. On the puzzles page, there are five fiendishly hard riddles and a meticulously long word search. Alisha 12C, Brice 10W, Putter 7A and Tiffany 7A 3
