"Think of the other person"

Many of you will know, that the most important rule in greendown is "think of the other person." now what does this mean, does this mean that only pupils should follow this, with other pupils?
Or is it a rule that runs from pupils right up to staff. When looking at "think of the other person" it's something that has court the eye of many people and pupils.
Many pupils will back this up that when it comes to thinking of the other person it doesn't work. Yes it will work for their friends but that is a two way thing. However when it comes to people starting to shout in your f and be rude, should you still be thinking of the other person at that point? This is because we had someone tell us about a problem what they faced, this was when a member of staff started shouting at them because they didn't do something. Now this problem was outside of a lesson and happened as a pupil walked passed. Thinking of the other person doesn't seem to work. This is because thinking of the other person can't just be said for pupils it has to run through out the whole school.
Now many people may disagree with this story as people have the right to, but ask your self this is it time we changed the rules, isn't time we updated our rules, and isn't time that we as pupils got the chance to re-write the rules in OUR school?

We believe that it is the time of change and the change that we want to make here at Greendown is "thinking of the other person." that needs to go and should come in with a new one. The one that this reporter believes is that it should be "treat someone how you want to be treated."
Now i know this may not be a good pick of words but it's true.
Pupils make up the school because without pupils there isn't a school,
But teachers make up the school too because with out the teachers we wouldn't have our education.
We believe that it's time to make a better link with our teachers, with the people that run our school.
It's time to make the change that should happen, lets think of the other person one last time and make it count.
If you believe in what this story talks about then please leave a comment, or if you don't or you believe that this story should be improved then please feel free to email g-mag@live.co.uk or if you write a letter hand it in to Main Reception and address it to G-Mag.


Lets go from " Thinking of the other person." To " treat someone how you want to be treated."
It's time we had a change and lets do that change together as one School.

New catering: Caterlink.

As many of you may have noticed by the new signs at the entrance of the Large atrium and the snazzy new clothing catering staff are wearing, you may have caught on that our food supplier has changed to a company called Cater link. By my experiences this week and the reactions of my peers we are loving the new selection of food at break times, Lunch and snacks. I have asked around G-mag and they like the wide selection now available to them at lunchtimes, although others are noticing differences that they aren't very keen on...

But I'm sure after a few more weeks of having the new catering company running our food selection in school, everyone will start to love it as much as me and others!
