In the Summer of 2020, three students in the British School of Bahrain came together, feeling a desire to create a strong sense of community between the students at the BSB. They decided that to heighten the already existing close-knit structure of the BSB community, a newspaper would be ideal. As they worked through proposals, meetings and discussions, one concept kept recurring in our objective as a student-led newspaper: focus on the students. Founding and leading this newspaper meant giving students a platform, a space for advice, comfort, and knowledge. As The Monthly revives the traditional Monthly Mayhem, with our individual flavours, we hope to incorporate salient issues both inside BSB and globally, while maintaining student interest, representing the student community in all of its entirety.
