    The Disastrous Excursion: The Day Trip Gone Wrong

    What began as a bright and sunny day turned to a day of a nightmare. Year 5 of Rouse Hill Public School had gone on an excursion to the Blue Mountains.

    But as soon as they arrived there were torrential downpours waiting for them. But that did not stop them, they kept on going. Big Mistake! When they went up the Mountains there were mud slides and people slipping from the mud and 3 people were in excruciating pain . It took them 3 hours to get to the summit. It should normally take 30 minutes. They made it at the beginning of the mountain trail at 12:00 pm, their school ended at 3:00 pm so by the time they reached the summit they should have been at home. Then they started their descent which took another 3 hours and a drive back to school in 1 hour. So they arrived at 7:00 pm in the night.

    Parents were furious. All of the parents had pressed charges against the school. The police were called and ambulances were called. There were 3 reported cases of broken bones. But the school was safe, they didn’t know the weather, they expected light showers.

    So this day was going to be remembered until the very end .

    Title: A Swamp of Surprises: Our School’s Shrek Musical

    As the curtains opened and the lights swept across the stage, our school hall transformed into a lively green swamp. The air buzzed with excitement as the cast stepped into their roles for Shrek the Musical. Sitting in the audience, I could feel the anticipation all around me. Months of hard work had led to this moment, and everyone was eager to see it come to life.

    From the very first song, the energy was contagious. The performers sang, danced, and acted with so much enthusiasm that it was impossible not to smile. But, like any live show, a few unexpected moments kept things interesting. Shrek’s microphone cut out mid-scene, Fiona’s crown slipped off during a twirl, and one of the background trees slowly tipped over. The audience giggled, but the cast stayed calm, turning each mishap into part of the fun.

    What impressed me most was how well everyone worked together. Instead of losing focus, they carried on with confidence, proving how much effort they’d put into the show. The crowd cheered louder with every scene, completely caught up in the story’s humour and heart.

    By the final bow, the hall erupted with applause. The performance might not have been perfect, but it was full of joy, teamwork, and creativity. Watching from my seat, I realised that sometimes the best moments happen when things don’t go exactly to plan.

    The Downfall for Lilly Matthews – Her mask slips

    At Maplewood High, Lily Matthews was the textbook definition of a “teacher’s pet.” Always raising her hand first, staying after class to chat with teachers, and subtly putting down her peers, she made it clear she was the star student. Whether it was in group projects or casual conversation, Lily was always quick to remind everyone how “dedicated” she was. And in doing so, she became the favorite of every teacher—especially Mr. Hughes, her biggest supporter.

    Asides from being the teacher’s pet, she was also the classic “Pick me” girl. “I’m just focused on my future,” Lilly would say when other girls asked her for help. But the real reason behind Lilly doing this was simple – she wanted to be school captain. At Maplewood, being school captain was be everything a student could dream of. Leading school tours, getting a badge, speaking at assemblies, everything. To those who knew Lilly, she was a performer, not a leader.

    About two weeks before the school captain vote, Maya Williams signed up for school captain after encouragement from friends and a few passive-aggressive remarks from Lily. Unlike Lilly, Maya didn’t show up with bribes, campaign posters and a perfectly rehearsed speech. She just showed up as her normal self – thoughtful, kind and helpful. That was what scared Lilly the most.

    With captain elections nearing, Lily went into overdrive. She turned her charm up to ten, suddenly trying to be everyone’s best friend. But her compliments felt forced, her efforts desperate. The once-confident front-runner started to spiral.

    Then things got messy. Whispers started circulating — that Maya had missed a club meeting she was supposed to lead. That she wasn’t as organized as people thought. That she had copied an idea for her campaign from someone else. Nothing ever confirmed, but it didn’t take long for people to trace the source of the rumors. Lily. People were shocked, but not surprised. That’s when her desperation finally to show through her perfect exterior. One classmate, Ava, said, “Lily started acting like the position was her birthright. When Maya got popular, she couldn’t handle it.”

    When voting day came, students submitted their votes, but everyone knew who was going to win. Maya Williams. But Lilly was still unaware of everything that was going on. She still thought she was the perfect girl, destined to become school captain. When Principal Franklin’s voice boomed over the speakers, he announced, “Maya Williams, school captain!” The crowd of students cheered. Lilly didn’t even get runner up, that position went to Chloe Chen. Lilly clapped but it was fake. More applause erupted and echoed in the hall, students cheering “Go Maya! Go Chloe!” Lilly had thought that people would be cheering for her, that she would get the glory but she was wrong.

    By the next week, Lily had vanished. She stopped coming to school and her locker was cleaned out. Teachers gave vague answers. One said she was “taking time off.” Another said she transferred. Most students assumed she couldn’t face the embarrassment.

    “She built her whole identity around that badge,” someone said. “When she didn’t get it… there was nothing left.” The news blew up on the school’s instagram page, photos of Maya beaming with excitement and signs saying Maya and Chloe forever. On a post that said “Maya for win!” Lilly, who was still in the school instagram page replied – She’s a teacher’s pet. Don’t be her friend, she’s toxic.” Everyone just rolled their eyes.

    What’s all the fuss about 6‑7?
    Lately in Year 5, especially in class 6‑7, kids have been randomly shouting “six seven!” everywhere math class, lunch, even during quiet reading time. No one seems to know exactly why, and that’s what makes it hilarious. The phrase comes from a viral song Doot Doot (6 7) by Skrilla, which popped up on TikTok and Instagram. How it started in our school
    It began innocently enough. One student whispered “six seven” when Mrs. Lee asked who forgot their homework. Others heard it, giggled, and repeated it. Before long, “six seven” was echoing down corridors. During recess, someone yelled it and everyone joined in. Even students doing math would pause and say, “six… seven.” It became kind of like a secret inside joke.
    Chaos in class
    In Mrs. Lee’s class, lessons were repeatedly interrupted. Kid 1 would raise their hand and instead of answering, yell “six seven!” Kid 2 echoed it. Missed multiplication tables, forgotten instructions, and a lot of giggling. Some teachers frowned. A few tried to ban it. But that only made kids whisper it more cunningly.
    Why it works Part of the meme’s power is that it doesn’t mean much. It’s absurd, random, and so ridiculous that it’s funny. To use a meaningless phrase just for laughs makes it mysterious and fun. Kids love copying what others do.
    Final thoughts
    The 6‑7 meme turned our school into a stage for silliness. Is it distracting? Yes. Is it unforgettable? Definitely. Sometimes, chaos is just what makes school days extra spicy.

    Brooklyn High Annual Science Fair: The Most Dramatic One Ever
    Each year, Brooklyn High’s annual Science Fair sparks excitement, but this year’s event turned into something no one expected. What began as a simple competition of ideas quickly escalated into one of the most dramatic afternoons our school has ever witnessed.

    Maya and Jacob
    It all started with two Year 9 students, Maya Lin and Jacob Turner, both known for their fierce intelligence and quiet rivalry. Maya was presenting a project on sustainable energy using algae-based fuel, while Jacob had created an AI system meant for predicting natural disasters. Their displays stood side by side, glowing with lights, graphs, and screens that hummed with ambition. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as students and judges travelled between the stalls, whispering thoughts about who would take home the first-place medal.

    Maya’s Project Failure
    The drama began when Maya’s project suddenly shut down mid-demonstration. Her laptop screen went black, and her bioreactor’s pump halted. Panic flashed across her face as a crowd gathered. “It was working five minutes ago!” she exclaimed. Meanwhile, Jacob’s project continued running smoothly, its code scrolling across the monitor in hypnotic lines of logic.

    Sabotage?
    Rumours spread like wildfire. Some students claimed Jacob had accidentally connected his AI to the wrong Wi-Fi channel, disrupting Maya’s setup. Others whispered more dramatically that he had sabotaged her system on purpose. Teachers hurried to the booth, trying to calm the growing storm. Mr Patel, the Science Coordinator, knelt by Maya’s project with a frown of concentration. Within minutes, he discovered the problem: Maya’s extension cord had been unplugged during the crowd’s excitement.

    Honesty and Forgiving
    A hush fell over the room. Jacob stepped forward, guilt flickering briefly across his face, and admitted that he had tripped on the cord while adjusting his display. “I didn’t realise,” he said quickly, eyes wide. For a moment, it seemed the tension would break—but Maya’s frustration boiled over. “You should have checked before presenting!” she snapped, voice trembling.

    The judges, caught in the middle, paused the competition while both students reset their experiments. The crowd, however, was not ready to let the incident go. Students debated who was at fault, turning the science fair into a theatre of opinions and divided loyalties. Some admired Maya’s resilience as she calmly recalibrated her sensors. Others sympathised with Jacob, who seemed genuinely regretful.

    Awards
    By the end of the day, both projects ran perfectly. In an unexpected twist, the judges awarded them joint first place, praising their “innovation, perseverance, and scientific integrity.” As the applause echoed through the hall, Maya and Jacob exchanged awkward smiles. What had started as rivalry ended in reluctant respect.

    Conclusion
    Looking back, the Great Science Fair Showdown wasn’t just about who built the better invention—it was about grace under pressure, the fine line between competition and cooperation, and the unforgettable energy that fills a school when curiosity and pride collide.

    The Talent Show Twist
    When the curtain rose that Friday night, the air in Crestwood High’s auditorium pulsed with anticipation. The annual school talent show had always been a cheerful mix of singing, dancing, and comedy, but no one expected this year’s event to spiral into such delicious chaos. Teachers leaned forward in their seats, students whispered in the dark, and a hush fell as the next act strode confidently onto the stage.

    Something Spectacular
    Year Nine student Liam Turner had promised something “spectacular.” Rumours had spread all week about his mysterious act involving light, sound, and a secret prop. As he positioned himself centre stage, spotlights gleaming off his silver jacket, even the judges exchanged curious looks.

    “This one’s going to be good,” someone whispered.

    The Surprise
    Music thudded through the speakers, and Liam began a slick dance routine:precise, fast, impressive. But the real drama began when he activated his “surprise.” With a flourish, he pressed a button on a small remote. Instantly, a series of flashing LED strips lit up around the stage, forming glowing patterns that pulsed with the rhythm of the song. The audience cheered, until the lights began to blink uncontrollably.

    Within seconds, the stage erupted in chaos. The speakers crackled and faded, the music warped and died, and the curtain twitched like it had a life of its own. Liam froze, then tried pressing the remote again, but the system had gone rogue. The lights danced wildly, spilling over the crowd, turning the whole hall into an uninvited disco. Some screamed, some laughed, and Mr. Perkins, the drama teacher, ran backstage yelling, “Pull the plug!”

    Zoe’s Rescue
    Through the confusion, one person kept her cool: Liam’s best friend, Zoe. She sprinted to the control panel, scanned the cables, then pulled out the main one and plunged the room into darkness. For a long, breathless moment, there was silence. Then, the crowd broke into applause

    When the lights returned, Liam stood embarrassed under the spotlight, his face flushed. “Guess I made it too spectacular,” he said, grinning weakly. Even the principal laughed, and the tension melted into cheers.

    Highlight of the Show
    The mishap quickly became the night’s highlight. No one remembered the flawless singers or polished pianists as clearly as the wild light show gone wrong. The following Monday, students still buzzed about “the great blackout,” replaying videos of flashing lights and Liam’s stunned expression.

    Though his act didn’t win first place, it certainly won the crowd’s heart; and a permanent place in school legend. Sometimes, it turns out, the best performances are the ones that don’t go according to plan.

    Detectives visit Highwood School

    It was an ordinary school day in Highwood School. Well as normal as it gets at the richest, poshest school around. On this particular morning there was a commotion in the playground. there was an enormous crowd. When one went to investigate they would find a dead body lying there, with blood splattered all around.

    Then we heard police sirens, WEEYAW WEEYAW WEEYAW. Everyone shifted their focuse onto a police car pulling up into the school’s driveway, then two men came out. They where wearing suits as black as the night itself. They walked with an air of importance. And in the same fraction of a second all the children realised: Detectives. And that was when they knew, something really bad happed here.

    There was talk about it in the school for days, weeks, months. But still no body could gess who would do such a dreadful thing. New evidence was discovered but most of it was kept by the detectives. The children speculated, and wild rumors flew about, one said that there was a ghost involved. But in the end the police’s conclusion was: we don’t know

    Keep watching, keep listening, maybe you will solve the mystery.

    Lunchtimes at the school used to be fairly dull — just chatting, reading, or scrolling on phones. Then K-pop exploded everywhere. Suddenly, hallways were alive with dancing, singing, and posters of idols — and it stayed fun… until the teachers decided to join in.

    The craze began as a student-driven phenomenon and was highly entertaining. Many classes adopted their own signature choreographies, often calling them “gang signs,” while others transformed hallways into stages for their friends. The talent show quickly became dominated by K-pop performances, with students energetically covering songs — whether singing Blue by Yung Kai or playing Blackpink’s Jump on the drums.

    The frenzy spread beyond co-curricular activities into academic spaces. Presentations included K-pop idols as the most inspirational figures, with Niki from the boy group Enhypen being particularly popular. Many students also creatively decorated bus tags with idol photos, turning them into miniature displays of fandom. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, with hallways echoing laughter and music as students engaged in friendly competition, showcasing dedication and creativity. The corridors buzzed like a hive of energetic bees, each student adding to the chaos.

    Teachers were soon confused, parents amused, and the principal… diplomatic. “We love students expressing themselves,” said Principal Debra, “but lunchtime performances need to stay lunchtime-friendly.” That did little to slow the trend. By Week Two, students had created banners and posters hung everywhere — in corridors, near the oval, and even in bathroom stalls. When it became clear that attempts to tame the students were futile, staff opted for a new strategy — one that no other school had attempted before, a strategy that promised an unexpected catastrophe: joining in.

    When the teachers became involved, the situation shifted dramatically. Rather than performing, they began making awkward jokes, such as, “Who is ready to be Golden in math class today?” The school bell system was also replaced: the national anthem was substituted with Golden and Soda Pop, tracks from the recently released animated children’s movie K-Pop Demon Hunters. Although staff believed students would enjoy the music, playing it four times daily — before class, recess, lunch, and school dismissal — quickly turned the novelty into irritation.

    The clash between students’ energetic K-pop activities and the teachers’ attempts at participation created an atmosphere widely regarded as awkward and “cringe.” “It was like watching a YouTube nightmare,” remarked one student. “We just wanted to dance, but suddenly our ears were bleeding from those horrible songs.” The situation became a comic battlefield, a clash of generations dancing to entirely different beats. The situation revealed a clear gap between student culture and adult understanding, much to the frustration of the student body. Eventually, the school implemented rules to restore order: performances were banned from hallways, posters had to be removed, and K-pop music was limited to designated events.

    The K-pop craze transformed the school from playful creativity into a humorous yet slightly chaotic spectacle. While the teachers’ involvement was well-intentioned, it altered the original dynamic, demonstrating how trends can be interpreted differently across generations. Even with the bans and restrictions, the period left a lasting impression, highlighting both the energy of student innovation and the sometimes-unintended consequences of adult participation. Lunchtimes are quieter now, posters have been recycled, and the corridors are free of glitter and choreographies — yet if one listens closely, the faint echo of a perfectly timed dance move can still be heard, like a ghost of glitter past, reminding everyone of a school briefly taken over by K-pop fever.
