Alma Mater Day+ MIA SBA’s + Banging Belt

Hey, Cubs! Welcome back to another spicy edition of The Tea. Hold onto your hats because we’ve got some juicy updates. We’ve hit another milestone, and what better way to celebrate than with some sizzling gossip? Our beloved school is turning another year older, and let me tell you, it’s not just the history that’s getting a facelift. There are fresh coats of paint everywhere!

Annnnnnddd it’s Alma Mater Day! Are you repping your set?! The different departments of the school are showing off and showing out with a showcase of their talents. Rumors are rampant that the English Department is auctioning off Mr. Greene, the Music Department is hosting karaoke, there’s yoga and meditation at the Counselor’s Office and you already know Home Ec is cooking up a storm!!! There will also be sweets and goodies being sold by the Student Council. We here in the Pride lands sure know how to have a good time!

Differently, it’s that time of year again—goodbyes are in the air, and trust me, things are getting emotional! A bunch of our favorite students are packing up their things and heading off to CSEC and new adventures, and you know there’s some juicy gossip going on about it. Like the fact that many SBA’s seem to be MIA with the final deadline right around the corner. And the list of culprits could line our airstrip!

Everyone’s frustrated and over it with students feeling like they’ve “arrived”, school and class attendance are topsy turvy and the dress code “gone ah gwasa”. Reports are that the Principal has unretired his “banging belt”. So the corridors and canopies might not be a scudder’s paradise for very long.

Needless to say, Easter break can’t come soon enough. For those writing exams however, the pressure might just be too much. But stay positive, a little midnight oil might serve some of you well.

Until next time, I’ll keep the kettle on cause you know we like our tea hot!
Enjoy the weekend, cubs.

“Champion Clean Up “

Well, well, well, if it isn’t our school, crowned as the champions, yet again! But here’s the thing: we’re not talking about all those winning actions that made us #1. Nope, not this time. This isn’t about effort, dedication, or anything actually sports related.

Let’s talk about something more… interesting. Have you noticed how some folks on the team suddenly become “champions” in the social scene too? You know the type—those who casually stroll into the cafeteria like they just won an Oscar, throwing around “champ” this and “winner” that. Maybe it’s the glow of the trophy, or maybe it’s just the attention that comes with the title, but suddenly everyone’s got an opinion on everything. Who needs a spotlight on the field when you can snag it in the hallways, right?

And speaking of champions, it’s funny how some of them don’t dress, speak or read the part. Short skirts, Birkenstocks, hoodies and king pin rings (not all that glitters is gold, gentlemen) are the main event coming through the gate. I mean, who knew that being a champion meant coming to school dressed like you’re standing down on point wharf corner?

But hey, that’s just the vibe around here. So clean it up champs.

The Tea: Sports Day Edition

Hey, hey, hey, cubs! Gather around because Sports Day was lit this year! First of all, can we talk about the fierce competition between the houses? I swear, it felt like the 100-meter dash was a race for gold… and pride. Roro and Geo from GREEN HOUSE?!? They were on fire, blowing everyone away with a time that had the crowd cheering like crazy. The way they crossed that finish line? Iconic. But hold up, don’t forget about Trevy, RED HOUSE’S star long jumper! He totally nailed the distance and, rumor has it, he’s been practicing on the down-low.

And, let’s just say, the relay teams weren’t all sunshine and rainbows. There were definitely some awkward baton passes. I’m not naming names but let’s just say… that handoff was a disaster. You could cut the tension with a knife!

But, the real drama? Team spirit, or the lack of it! All houses had their football squad on point, totally hyped up. However the support in the cheering section has dwindled. Honestly, I don’t know if they were there for sports or just there for the dress up.

So, there you have it, folks. The legends were made (green house) the blunders were seen (blue and yellow), and the gossip? It’s just beginning.

Stay tuned for more updates, because trust me, we haven’t even scratched the surface!

And Congratulations to our WINNERS:

THE DREAM TEAM FROM GREEN HOUSE
