VERB MAGAZINE
ABOUT
VOLUME 1
Hello!
Welcome to the very first issue of VERB Magazine.
This publication is dedicated to the young people of
Trinidad and Tobago. This is your space to talk
about the issues that are important to you. We know that
there are secondary school students and
teenagers across Trinidad and Tobago who are extremely
talented and are attaining noteworthy
achievements in their schools and communities that
have both national and international impact. This is
your space to shine.
In this issue we talk to the musicians from St François
Girls’ Steel Orchestra about their preparations
for this year’s Trinidad and Tobago National Junior
Panorama Finals. We also hear what inspired one girl
from Chaguanas North Secondary School to do the ‘big
chop.’ Poets from Bishop Anstey High School
East and Trinity East College are also on the inside.
The Big Story examines the art of wining. Has the national pastime evolved into something too risqué?
Hear what teens and music industry insiders have to say.
These and other stories we’ve put together for you in this
edition of VERB Magazine.
Enjoy.
