The S2 editorial team are back with issue 2 of the school newspaper – and we have a name after much deliberation – Sacred Heart Express.

It was a lot harder putting issue 2 together, but not because of a lack of effort on the part of our writers, photographers or sub-editors. Simply put, the New Year holidays meant we couldn’t meet as much in-person to discuss ideas and problems with getting material ready. It all had to be done on LINE

We got it together though, and the main theme as you will see is the very thing that caused us the problems – the New Year. 

Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year, call it what you will, we look at the norms of the festivities here in Taiwan, take a deeper dive into one student’s own family holidays, and investigate the story behind the Chinese Zodiac in Chinese culture and elsewhere. 

We also take a brief look back at the Christmas talent show (remember the teachers dancing?) wrap our interview with Principal Wei, and have a sit-down with the newest teacher in the staff room – Teacher Kristen.

See you all in issue 3 – scheduled for release on April 1st and set to feature one of the foreign teachers under the spotlight.
