Episode: Hallway Hype: Drama, Departures, and a Dash of Chaos!

— Gossip Gerty

Well, well, well…welcome back to a new year in the pride lands. It’s only the first week of school and the drama levels are already off the charts, and no, I’m not just talking about the cafeteria’s new lunch menu.

First up, let’s talk about the elephant in the front office: Where did Principal G go?! One minute he was leading assemblies and dancing like a champ, and the next, poof! gone without so much as a final announcement. No last jam. No assembly. Not even a “see ya later” over the media. Seriously, he deserved a farewell parade or at least a heartfelt meme slideshow.

Now, in his place, we have our brand-new principal, cue dramatic music.

Rumor has it she started her first week greeted with coffee and smiles, but also walked straight into chaos. Fights. Yes, plural. In just the first week and a half, there were not one, not two, but three fights. Hello 911, we need assistance.

Let’s be honest, it definitely wasn’t the peaceful welcome tour imagined. Instead…front-row seats to “Back to School: Battle Royale Edition.” 🥊

So what does all this mean? Maybe it’s the heat. Maybe it’s the post-summer adjustment blues. 

Welcome to the wildest back-to-school season yet. Buckle up, cubs, it’s going to be a bumpy term unless we all settle down.

Until next time, keep sipping that 😏.

Buzz in the Pridelands: Last Game, Last Drama!

By Liz Anya

Hold onto your edges Cubs, because Wednesday’s final game of the season was straight out of a teen drama series! The girls under 20 football team “beauty and shellhead” may have taken the win against AGHS (3–0, thank you very much), but the real action was off the field with the naysayers in the stands.

Regardless of how hard we work, there are always people whose life work is to live to hate on our pink and grey. How hard is it to say congrats and shake hands with a good face? Congrats to the Striker who finally found a space on the field to score the first goal of the afternoon. As well as the wing who put aside her tumbling skills to score two more!!

Meanwhile, Coach T was seen having an intense post-game chat with Principal CG. Rumor has it there may be big coaching changes next season. I hope they know what they are doing.

Still to come the 70th anniversary celebrations. Will the oldies outshine the current?

Season’s over, but the gossip? Oh, it’s just getting started. Stay tuned, cubs and rest up! You know I will.

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.
