FOREWORD
For centuries, mankind has quenched its insatiable thirst for knowing the unknown through discovery. Equipped with specialized tools and navigation expertise, we embarked on special journeys across the whole wide world in a vigorous search to experience the yet-to-beexperienced.
The well-awaited return to onsite classes mimics these great expeditions of yesteryear. After over two years of virtual education, we Monarchs have become the pioneers of traversing an alien land: the great outdoors. Voyages into strange and unfamiliar territory have now taken the form of walking down campus corridors — the notebooks and backpacks as our travel gear.
Over two years worth of dread pandemic, wired communication, and home isolation have left the onsite school environment practically unknown to us.
Through all of this, however, arises the longing for uncovering all the new things around: new happenings to live through, new media to display, and most importantly new stories to shed light on.
In this issue and in this age of the “next” normal, our Movers set out to finally explore the aftermath of quarantine — explore the world within and around them, from the wonders of hybrid learning to their own innate strengths too.
Through The Mover’s now-physical platform, pen, and paper, it has become our mission to highlight these learnings, and expedite the student body’s insatiable thirst for discovery.
Raise your anchors! We shall now set sail for a grand adventure toward new horizons.
