The School Newspaper In Virtual Format


     It took a ton of work, but the Semester 1 Writer's Craft class has pulled it off. The latest edition of Western's Newspaper, "The Hidden Agenda" is now ready for print.
     The paper was designed by Stephen Quach using the schools latest InDesign software. A program that is suitable for all commercial and industrial publishing. "It was certainly above anything I've ever used," said Mr. Bailey the Writer's Craft teacher. "I'm not quite sure how we would have made our publishing deadline without Steven's expertise."
     Creating a school newspaper is just one of the many assignments for the Writer's Craft class. Once the final editing touches are complete the paper is relayed to the TDSB print shop. It should be out within the next week. If you'd like to get a look at the virtual addition, follow the link below.
     This week the Writer's Craft students are sitting in the Director's Chair. They've just completed a three week workshop on script writing for short films. Now they're filming their short scripts... Stay tuned for the WTCS Short Film Festival. It's coming to a classroom near you.
