Tower and Town, August 2026 (view the full edition)Editorial: St John's EditionLooking through these pages, I am incredibly proud of every student who has contributed. Every photograph, illustration, and piece of writing in these pages reflects the creativity, curiosity, and hard work of our school community and it has been a pleasure to see so many brilliant ideas come together. This edition explores the things we value most, especially nature and music. They are often such a familiar part of our lives that we hardly notice them - until something reminds us not to take them for granted. After the recent heatwave, when walking to school felt less like a commute and more like a trek across the Sahara, it seemed like a good moment to reflect. Imagine a world without cool green spaces, birdsong on a summer morning, or the music that accompanies our happiest memories. They're easy to take for granted until we're reminded just how important they are. Without these small things, our world would be a much poorer place, and that's why these things are worth both celebrating and protecting. I hope this edition encourages you to think about the things that matter most to you and inspires you to appreciate them a little more. Above all, I hope you enjoy reading this magazine as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy reading! Lottie King |
