Hi, I’m Rosie and I am in the sports department of the paper. What inspired me to join the newspaper is because I love writing and reading (specifically fantasy books or history books). I love contributing and being a part of a team. I am happy I am in the sports department because I play quite a few sports. I love watching and learning how to play. Joining the newspaper could be beneficial for my future which is another reason why. For my future, I wish to work at a newspaper aka being a journalist or to travel around the world and report on what I've seen.
Hey, I’m Elle Davies. I joined the newspaper because I really enjoy consuming all kinds of media. Any type of art fascinates me. Whether that's films, paintings, music, photos, the ballet, theatre productions or any type of human created art. That is why I thought the culture department would be absolutely perfect! I have also been described as ‘bossy’ literally my whole life so I imagine that being the head of the department is probably a good idea for me. I have always wanted to be a teacher. My idea changed from a primary school teacher to a secondary one and now I would like to lecture about English literature at a university!
I am more than happy to answer any questions about the culture department! My contact info is ka22edavies@edubuzz.org

Hey! I’m Lilly and a senior member of the Culture department. I am very interested in film, TV, music, books and especially musical theatre. I decided to join the newspaper, specifically the culture department since I love all things culture/media related and when I found out that I had the opportunity to be able to write about what I am so passionate about, I jumped right to it! I am aspiring to pursue a musical theatre career when I am older so when I heard about the theatre side of the culture department, I was very excited to be able to write about that specifically and I hope to give you some articles to do with theatre and more!

Hello. My name is Izzy, I’m a senior member of the Culture Department. I have a fascination with Art, Drama, literature and all things creative. I joined the newspaper Culture Department because I loved the idea of inspiring and informing people about the Arts. I’m hoping to be an Architect or an Engineer but some part of me still wants to act in a theatre or make art for a living.

Hello, I’m Ellie, a writer for the Culture section of the paper. As someone who has always had a love for both reading and writing books, the Knox newspaper is an amazing opportunity to explore my interests alongside others with the same motivation! Everyone on the team works really well together, and we’ve formed a welcoming, supportive community. In the future, I would love to study at Edinburgh University, then go on to work in the performing arts, or become an interior designer in the South of France.
Hello! I’m Isobel McGonigle, but most people call me ‘Issy’, and I work in the Culture Department of the paper. I honestly was quite unsure of joining the news club, I wasn’t exactly into writing that much, but I’ve always been pretty interested in newspapers! I thought that joining the club would be a great opportunity for me to step outside my comfort zone and could possibly open a few more doors for me in the future. For my future, I’m still pretty hesitant on setting a straight course for a job, so for now I’d like to try out a few options!

Hey! I’m Lucy (S5), I work as the manager of the Beat Department. I was inspired to join the Knox newspaper due to my lifelong love reading and writing. I have always been interested in writing stories and articles discussing relevant real world issues. Additionally, I also enjoy both drawing and baking!

My name is Neve Hunter. My department is Beat. My interests are music and history, I especially enjoy delving into local history. My reason for joining the newspaper is that I think it will help improve my writing skills and my communications outside my yeargroup. Aspirations I have for the future is that I would like to pursue a career as a orchestra conductor, so i think being in the newspaper would help the people side of things if i was to become a conductor.
Hey! I’m Ugne, a senior member of the Beat Department. What inspired me to join the newspaper was my dedication to sharing people's voices and making sure that they are heard. That’s why I specifically joined the Beat Department, as I can express my own and others' opinions on certain topics ranging from science to politics. Furthermore, I can inform people about what's happening around them. In the future, I would like to go to university to study economics and politics.
Feel free to contact me at ka22uvicyte@edubuzz.org
Hey, I'm Isaac, a senior in the Beat department. If I'm not writing something, arguing with someone (playfully, obviously), then I'll be in the kitchen, baking, cooking or doing who knows what. I’ve also recently taken a liking to philosophy, so if there’s a deep question that’s bothering you, then I'm the person to talk to. I decided to apply for a position in the beat department because I just love to talk. Ask me anything and we’ll be enthralled in conversation for the next hour. So I thought that my qualities would be best applied to a role in which I could talk, or in this instance, write my heart out. I’m not sure exactly what I'll do after school is all done, but it’ll definitely be something along the lines of thinking-and-talking-and-doing-lots-of-things. Maybe philosophy, maybe politics, maybe even physics. But only time will tell.

Hey, I’m Scott Morrison and I’m the head of the photography department. I was inspired to join the newspaper club because I wanted to try and use my photography skill for something other than as a hobby or for school and because it would make me change my style of photography.

Hi everyone, my name is Lexi and I am a cartoonist for Knox News. I joined Knox News as my friend convinced me that it would be fun and had a role for artists. In the future I aspire to be either a character designer or animator, and I believe that joining Knox News as a cartoonist can help me reach that goal.
Hi, I am Millie Macintyre, my part in Knox News is cartoon art. What interests me in joining is my hobby of drawing characters from two different shows I like, Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. An interesting fact about me is that I really like Yungblud, he is my absolute favourite artist. I really like his songs The Boy in the Black Dress and The Freak Show. The reason I chose to be part of cartoon art at Knox News is because I wanted to practice my talent for future reasons and meet new people. In the future I want to be a cartoon artist and make new characters, I also make my own characters at home and im really exited to be part of the cartoon art department.
Hey! I’m Charlotte, I work with the cartoonists for Knox News. Fashion design is one of my passions and I would love to design for major fashion companies and magazines (such as Vogue) in the future. I joined the club after I convinced my friend it would be fun. We both like to draw and love the opportunity to work with others on a project that is so diverse from person to person. If I’m honest, I would probably work in some sort of finance-ish area (I really like maths) or maybe some place in engineering? Fashion design is a very hard career path, but I’m not saying that I won’t try!
