Hey guys, The summer holidays always go by so fast. One minute we're walking out of school for the last time of the year, and the next minute we're at the shops trying on school shoes. On the bright side, it's fun starting a new school year and catching up with all the friends you didn't get to see during the break. To get you on the right track, make sure you have a read of our back-to-school special, starting on page 22. Our cover star this issue is the very cool Rosé! We were big fans of hers already because of her group Blackpink, but ever since she released her first solo album, Rosie, we've become obsessed! Her collab with Bruno Mars, APT., was one of the biggest songs…

one Starting a journal: Write down all the funny or crazy things that happen in your life every day.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ARIANA! Fans of Ariana Grande’s music might be a bit sad to hear that the singer’s music career will be taking a back seat for a while. “I’m always going to do pop music, pinky promise, but I don’t think I’ll be doing it at the rate that I’ve been doing it for the past 10 years,” she announced. Instead, the star is going to be concentrating on her acting career. “I think I love acting; I love musical theatre. Reconnecting with this part of myself... I love comedy, and it heals me to do that - finding roles to use these parts of myself.” We’re excited for this new era in Ariana’s career!

5 Steps to being an A+ student! 1 Start each day with breakfast and finish it with an early night. Skipping breakfast and going to bed late will make you feel tired in class, and as a result, you won’t be able to focus or concentrate. 2 If you’re having trouble staying focused while doing your homework, take breaks. Work hard for 20 minutes, take a short break, then work for another 20 minutes. 3 If you’re struggling with something, don’t be afraid to ask your teacher for help – it’s what teachers are there for! 4 Set yourself small goals. For example, try to learn how to spell 10 new words a week, or give yourself two weeks to learn some of your times tables. Achieving your goals will…

ALL ABOUT THE... Sugar Glider ● Sugar gliders are found in Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. They are marsupials, like a kangaroo or wombat. ● They get their name from their love of sweet food and their ability to glide from tree to tree using the webbed area between their body and back legs, along with their tail. ● They are palm-sized possums that can glide half the length of a soccer pitch in one trip. ● They are very social animals and enjoy the company of people.

HOME GROWN TALENT Rosé was born in Auckland, New Zealand, and moved to Melbourne as a child. When she was 16, Rosé’s father heard that one of the biggest entertainment companies in Korea, YG Entertainment, was holding an open audition in Sydney, so he told Rosé that she should give it a try. “I didn’t think I could participate in any type of audition,” said the singer. “I was like: ‘Oh my gosh’ - I thought I had no chance.” Nevertheless, they flew to Sydney to audition, and as it turns out, sometimes parents really do know best! YG Entertainment loved Rosé and offered her the opportunity to train as a K-pop star in Korea. So, she decided to drop out of school, move to another country, and the rest,…
