Volunteering to cover school events

Publication Design Journalists!

It is important that we cover all school events by sending a journalist, or two, to talk to people and take pictures.

Field Day was easy because it happened during the school day. There are a few other events like this, Cultural Diversity Day and Pakistan Day.

However, most school events happen outside of the time that you are scheduled to be in school. This weekend is the first example of this with the SAISA Track and Swim Meet.

It is crucial that we have people covering these events. Thank you to Jaemin, Rae, Omer, Sev, Shahan and Mohera for volunteering to cover this event.

I will be recording everyone's work on covering events on this Google Sheet, so that we can spread the load across all members of the class. You can see that Shahan has two check marks next to his name, this is because he has volunteered to come twice for this SAISA event.

I will be on campus this weekend to help manage the cameras. I will confirm on Monday that all the volunteers turned up to do their job, if not, I will remove their check marks from the sheet.

For those of you that did not volunteer this time, I hope you will be able to volunteer for the next event. If we do not have enough volunteers to cover an event, I will assign the work to someone who has no check marks next to their name, or has the least number of check marks next to their name.

You are in control of this, so long as you volunteer and take your share of the work. If you choose not to volunteer, you will be volunteered.
