A Midsummer Night at the Y11 Formal
A Midsummer Night at the Y11 Formal
The Year 11 Formal was truly a night of individuality and style, following the theme of âMidsummer Nightsâ. Everyone arrived in flashy suits and jaw-dropping dresses; each outfit stood out and made the room feel unique and special. Stepping inside, it was impossible not to notice the decorations: balloons blanketed the floor, and the tables were packed with foods such as pizza, chicken nuggets, and fries.At the back of the hall, the photobooth was one of the busiest spots of the night, with a li
Breaking the Frame at TEDxKGV 2026
Breaking the Frame at TEDxKGV 2026
Most of the time, weâre all trying to find ways to fit in with the crowd. But on March 18th, 6 speakers decided to take the stage and shatter that mold. For the 3rd annual TEDxKGV event, our theme was âBreaking The Frameâ. Rather than staying within their comfort zone, we prompted our speakers to challenge the community in deconstructing conventional thinking and make room for revolutionary ideas. Our diverse line up of student and alumni speakers enraptured the audience with intriguing ideas, b
How to keep reading
How to keep reading
If only feeling bad about not reading enough was conducive to reading more. Unfortunately, we live in a world that explicitly or implicitly undermines the act of reading for fun, and itâs incredibly easy to fall into that complacency. If youâd like to make reading an active and important part of your life, youâve made a great choice and I hope this article will be helpful! It seems counterintuitive to foster the habit of reading for joy by occasionally reading books that donât bring you joy: may
Meet the New Head House Captains!
Meet the New Head House Captains!
Ever seen a house captain and thought they seem terrifying and unapproachable? As a new academic year begins, the mantle of leadership and legacy of our schoolâs four houses has yet again been passed down to a new group of students. We see our house captains at every single school event, leading their houses with high energy and pride. This year, I had the privilege of interviewing the head house captains of Nightingale, Upsdell, Rowell and Crozier to understand their goals for the year. Letâs d
Girl Power at Codehers 2026
Girl Power at Codehers 2026
Laptops hummed, and ideas soared as more than 300 girls from 12 schools united at German Swiss International School on March 7th for CodeHers â A girls' only event made to empower the next generation of women in STEM. Whether they were writing their first line of code or polishing up on a project, all students left inspired and more confident. But why does this matter?In a tech-driven world where innovations are happening every second, thereâs an immense gap in gender disparity within the comput
Time Traveling at Panache 2026
Time Traveling at Panache 2026
Panache, KGVâs annual charity fashion show, never fails to transform our familiar school hall into another world. This year, clock motifs decorated the stage, a call to the theme âTimelessâ. Before the show, a palpable excitement filled the air, with all eyes cast on the lit up catwalk. Who knows what delights might grace the stage when the designers have all of fashion history to take inspiration from? The show kickstarted with Alex Honâs baroque themed line, The Four Seasons, which featured fr
The 6 Unspoken Roles in a Group Project
The 6 Unspoken Roles in a Group Project
As I sat in that familiar, dimly lit classroom on a Friday afternoon, period five, a sense of gloom hung in the air when my teacher announced that we had a group project due in a week. I immediately looked up to search for my name, randomly clustered with those of six classmates; I knew this was going to be a long weekend. Regardless of the subject, Iâve started to notice that my classmates tend to gravitate toward specific roles in a team. 1. The Team CarrierThe Carrier is the one who swoops in
The Complicated Marketing of Avengers: Doomsday
The Complicated Marketing of Avengers: Doomsday
Avengers: Cash Grab Doomsday is definitely a movie that youâve heard of, thanks to Marvel Studiosâ ambitious marketing. Robert Downey Jr. was unmasked as Doctor Doom on stage, but who knows how theyâll explain why one of Marvelâs most famous Romani characters looks like Iron Man? We know the cast of the film from a five and a half hour livestream ofâŚchairs, and also that (sigh) Chris Evans will return as Steve Rogers from a theatrically exclusive trailer. The marketing for Doomsday is like noth

Lion Rock 2026
Student bands, swinging lights and amazing covers (plus an original song!) made up Lion Rock, KGVâs annual concert which rocked the school hall last night. For those of you who werenât there, you missed out on quite the show put together by our brilliant student musicians with support from Ms. Carlile, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Edwards.Lion Rock saw bands playing songs that you might love (or be really tired of hearing) including Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor and Supermassive Black Hole by Muse (yes
POV: You Were Born In The Wrong Generation
POV: You Were Born In The Wrong Generation
Youâve probably felt it. That pang. A pull. Maybe while scrolling through a âRoaring Twentiesâ Pinterest board. Or while binge-watching Bridgerton, wrapped in an era you never experienced firsthand. A yearn to be in that period. That nostalgia for a time youâve never lived in, itâs called anemoia.Traditionally, psychologists have thought that nostalgia is based on our recollections of that experience. But this doesnât really explain anemoia since people are yearning for something they never even

Don't Feed the Machine - Creativity over Artificially Generated Efficiency
It started with ads for AI assistive writing software. Then AI-generated books, videos, and pictures started popping up on every Internet space imaginable. Then that amped up to ads purporting to teach me how to make money off a book I can write in 2 minutes with AI. Even in your everyday lives, youâve undoubtedly encountered people using generative AI to do schoolwork.Thereâs a spectrum of usage: from initial generation of ideas, to technical/grammatical assistance, to asking ChatGPT to write a
