AISM Magazine: The Buffalo Blog

We are excited to launch a new journalism initiative at the school, where a team of student journalists are creating and curating news stories from around our community, both inside and outside the school gates.  We have titled our online magazine 'The Buffalo Blog' and our first AISM core journalism team is made up of this exceptional group of students from grades 7-10: 

• Tendai
• Alexandre 
• Atharv 
• Shailee 
• Danae 
• Gaia 
• Cora 
• Felix 

I am heading up the project on the teacher’s side, meeting with the student journalists on Mondays and liaising with them throughout the week. As we move forward, we are also excited about other students using this opportunity to express themselves and develop valuable communication skills, be it a focus on journalistic writing, photography, or video editing to name a few.  Estelle and Ryan from Grade 6 will be adding a music story soon, whilst Grade 9 students Laia and Polly are also planning on getting involved to bring in travel tales and health warnings! 

In the meantime, check out the latest stories about our new MUN leadership (Felix), our volleyball teams (Alex), a unique Grade 8 Shakespeare project (Ashton and Connie), and a Grade 6 creative ATL project (Mr Rui). 

Heating up on the press are further exciting articles on our scuba diving ASA (Cora), the effects of music on the brain while studying (Atharv), Mozambique’s first professional surfer (Tendai), and bullying in school environments (Gaia). 

Do you have any ideas for other exciting content for the site? If so, please get in touch with me at [email protected] or the PTA representatives.
