Voice of the Voiceless: Tirrim Secondary School's Weekly Newsletter

A new club has been formed at T.S.S. - Journalism Club! Bringing you school and world news every week from the mouths of the students!

Here's an excerpt from this week's addiction. Enjoy and be enlightened. (Cultural Note: An "office" is a bathroom.)

The School Insider Column
It has come to our realisation that the busiest office in the school has been faced with a lot of inconveniences. The boys’ office, which is 10 metres from the assembly lines, has been in a mess for a period of time.

It has been a problem for almost 85 students to scramble for only two holes. This queuing consumes times and causes congestion in the office which tends to raise the amount of smell. Usually when the students enter the office, they remove their clothes and enter half naked in order for them to escape the stench getting on their clothes. This congestion is clearly proved by girl students complaining about boys using the wrong office.

On the volleyball pitch the players have also been affected by the smell because the nearest toilet is so smelly. They condemn the boys for having the highest concentration of smell. The reason is not that the girls’ toilet is refreshing and has no smell but that compared to the boys’ office , it is not encumbered with a large load.

Some students suggest more offices for the school.
