The Torch
‘The Torch’ is a newspaper CCA where a group of 10-20 students collaborate to write articles about numerous topics. Some examples are Politics and War, School events, Business, Science and tech, the arts, etc. The CCA aims to inform, explore issues, and offer opinions through our news reports to build awareness and ensure our peers know what is happening worldwide, encourage more reading, and foster a curiosity for new subject matters that they read about.
CAS Strand: Creativity and Service
The club is dedicated to generating innovative article concepts and making the content stand out, ensuring fellow students are engaged and informed. This demands deep creative thinking—members must constantly think outside the box. The writing and editing process itself is a creative endeavor, vital for maintaining high quality. Furthermore, the website's need for an aesthetically captivating layout directly links the publication aspect to the Creativity CAS strand.
By promoting action and engagement through articles. Sections like 'Climate + Environment,' 'Politics and War,' and 'School' will highlight global and local issues, offer solutions, and champion effective Service groups. Furthermore, the magazine offers free advertisement slots adjacent to our articles to promote Service CCAs, their events, and sign-up opportunities.
Lasallian Principles: Respect for all Persons, Inclusive Community, Faith in the Presence of God, Quality Education, Concern for the Poor and Social Justice
Faith in the Presence of God: This value is expressed by encouraging the integration of spiritual beliefs through articles focused on religion.
Concern for the Poor and Social Justice: The CCA's focus on Service, awareness-spreading, and research directly supports this value. Publishing articles on pressing social issues (e.g., poverty, environmental sustainability) allows students to develop empathy, understanding, and a sense of responsibility to advocate for the less fortunate.
Inclusive Community: An inclusive environment is fostered where students from diverse backgrounds and year groups collaborate and value diversity. This teamwork ensures every member's unique contribution is recognised and supported, aligning with the Lasallian emphasis on a strong community.
Quality Education: 'The Torch' offers experiential learning opportunities that extend beyond the classroom. Students connect article topics to class subjects and utilise academic skills to enhance their writing, reflecting the Lasallian dedication to helping them achieve their full potential.
Respect for all Persons: This value is embodied through active student engagement in raising awareness for important community and global events.
