The York Castle High School Students’ Council released a statement to the media, publicly condemning acts of cyberbullying, trolling and other unlawful acts practiced by internet users. The Council charges the student body to join the wider fight to prevent cyberbullying and promote the safe and responsible use of the internet.

“As the representative of the student body we strongly condemn any act of cyber bullying and instead encourage responsible social media use. Students must remember that we are all part of a school family and acts of this sort help to tarnish the image of this prestigious institution. There are mediums to resolve class conflicts and interpersonal malice such as the Dean of Discipline, Guidance Counsellors and form teachers at one level and Students Councillors at another. We strongly urge students who participate in these degrading activities to swiftly seize and desist, we continue to urge the authorities to pursue actively these violators and when found, persecute to the absolute full extent, the Law of Jamaica and York Castle.”

The Bee speculates possible cohesion could flow among candidates Slew, Blake and Davidson. It widely known that both Slew and Davidson worked closely together during their time as Youth Parliamentarians. It is also being said that there exists a longstanding platonic relationship between Blake and Slew. Could this be a ticket in formation or that the members of this pyramidal have no confidence in the leadership ability of each other? This is a developing story from The Bee.

Head Boy Andrew McIntosh is the latest senior student leader to join the fight against COVID-19. Mr. McIntosh, in a townhall hosted recently by the Council, confirmed the stance of the Prefecture in support of the vaccine uptake. The Head Boy in a social media post to Instagram maintained that face to face is [really] the best way for York Castle [YC] to go forward. This represents a major turning point for Yorkist 'anti-vaxxers' as sources close to the Head Boy's administration confirmed that the once 'anti-vax' activist is now passionately pleading vaccine uptake in critical hesitant groups like the ISCF. This is a Bee Top Story.

The silence was deafening as no Council Senator was present to respond to President of the Press Association at York Castle High, Breeanah Edward's question aimed at the senate. Senator Gabrielle Williams appears to have been absent from the Council's first general townhall meeting. The Bee understands that Senator Williams was also absent from last week's very important meeting of the Senate where a Leader of Business should have been chosen but was not. Calls to the Senator's phone for comment on the matter have gone unanswered while Council officials decline to comment on the matter. This is a Bee Developing story.

In what was his first appearance as Sitting Chairman of the Students' Council, Mark Johnson declared the Townhall as a success, citing that a very good cross section of students were present and that a platform where students can engage their student leaders, put forward their expectations and hold them accountable is a home victory for student democracy. The monthly student Townhall is an expanded version of what was formerly held as President's Time in former years, where all students get to engage their leaders.

"Dispicable Me" alludes Advisorial Chair & Former Head Boy Bobby Francis in response to a question from the media asking if concern was found for making possible 'minions' of himself. In defending the Council's design for Sustainable Leadership- which gives effect to a President, an Immediate Past President as Principal Chair and a Past President as Advisorial Chair-Former Head Boy Bobby affirmed that what leaders of Council and Prefecture have in common is a passion for good leadership, communication and continuity, in the same way he would have been the successor of Mikhail Treasure, Tyrieke Feurtado and Danmar Clarke who were strong leaders. "A pedestrian narrative to a very sophisticated design" concluded the Yorkist.
