A Day In The Life of most grade 8s

at kc

From the morning scramble to the last echoes of band practice, a school day is more than just classes—it's a full-on adventure. With sandwich box sprints, iced coffee runs, and dreams of 1st team glory, every moment counts. Curious what a day in our shoes really feels like? Dive in. 

The box (poem)

Locking up your heart seems like an awful thing to do

But isn't it true that while it may not beat

It wont ever break 

O captain, my captain

With many of our peers preparing to leave the comfort brought on by gliding through the pool or batting a ball on the court, a feeling of sadness hangs over us all. For most of our captains, the start of half term marked the end of their high school summer sports career that they had committed to for the past few years. 

Green (poem)

Raw, lyrical, and achingly honest—Green is a poem that explores love, envy, and the quiet ache of what could never be. In this emotionally charged piece, Bronwyn Wilson captures the beauty of longing and the complexity of loving someone from afar. A must-read for anyone who’s ever felt both full and hollow at once.
