Welcome to the first Veritas issue of the 2019-2020 school year and the first digital edition ever!
Veritas has undergone a lot of exciting updates recently and as we work with this new format there will likely be more changes in the coming months. In addition, we look forward to bringing you more regular issues and new forms of content.
Over the last few weeks Veritas Staff have worked hard to bring you a diverse collection of articles. With everything from Fall Fun, to basketball reports, and polls on Shakespearean plays, this issue is packed full with the students’ favourite topics.
We encourage you to give us feedback in person or via e-mail (hsg.veritas@gmail.com).That said, if you have any creative writing pieces you would like to be published, feel free to send them to the same address mentioned above for consideration.
Your editors,
