Our Mission
Our mission is to give all ISB students a place to showcase their creativity and artistic skills, as well as encourage them to try new things and step out of their comfort zone. We want to bring all members of the ISB community even closer together, and create a collective outcome that encompasses all of the great things that this school is capable of. Moreover, we want to enable our readers to become more well-informed on global issues, and entertain them with our light-hearted articles and recommendations. Lastly, we want to create a relaxed space where students can be themselves without the stress of academics, or any external expectations, and purely be themselves creatively.
Meet The Team
Writer & Editor
Liza
Hi, everyone! My name is Liza, I am a student in 12B, and this year, I have the honour to serve as The Nest’s leader. I enjoy telling stories, no matter how bland they are, being a firm believer in the fact that any story is interesting if told the right way! In my writing, I like to share my wisdom, explore fascinating questions of the modern world, and occasionally indulge in a bit of fiction. Our incredibly talented team works around the clock to produce everything from articles to podcasts and I am incredibly proud to be leading a team of such dedicated individuals.
Artist & Creative Director
Sofia
Hello everyone, I’m Sofia, the year 12 student in charge of all things visual here at the Nest! As the head of our art department, I’m in charge of our social media designs, article layouts and brand image. However, I’m also looking forward to branching out of my comfort zone by means of our writing, podcast and event-planning outlets. My hope is to make The Nest into a self-sustained community that can help amplify the voices of those who struggle to express themselves and anyone who has a passion that they wish to share, so make sure to stop by!
Web Developer & Head of Writing Department
Daria
Hello! My name is Daria and I am a student in Year 12. I am the website manager and head of the writing department. Despite proofreading and editing, I also sometimes write articles, so expect to see some essays on philosophy, film and book reviews, as well as occasional narratives. The Nest has allowed me to work on both my writing skills and my organizing skills, which I am entirely grateful for. I hope to see some more faces joining our team as the year progresses!
Artist & Social Media Manager
Grace
Hi! My name is Grace and my role in The Nest is primarily art-focused. I joined this club two years ago, when I was in year 10, and have had the pleasure of seeing it flourish and change. My goal for this year is to help the Nest and all of its younger members develop their creative skills, explore their passions and give them a voice! As co-leader of the art department, you will see me assisting with our social media, advertising and the look of our articles. Additionally, I enjoy writing articles or creating art on my own time so you might see some of that on our website! I hope to welcome some new members to our team throughout the year!
Head of Podcast Department
Julia
Hello! My name is Julia and I am the head of the podcast department. I have been part of this club for around 2 years and really enjoy working closely with my peers on all kinds of projects. Most of the time during club sessions, I like to help other members of the club as much as I can with their endeavours, often dabbling into a bit of the event planning or writing or art departments in the process. However, creating podcasts is just as important to me. I hope that you would consider joining our club or even collaborating on projects with us, like recording podcasts or whatever you are passionate/comfortable with. We will always be happy to have you join us!
Writer
Sharon
Hello! My name is Sharon. My role in this team is to write informative, but hopefully, entertaining articles related to medicine including fun facts, fascinating information and ultimately useful advice relating to this vast field. Moreover, I am hoping to organise some fun and educational activities during the course of this year that you will hopefully find enjoyable and helpful!
Writer & Artist
Liza
Hi! My name is Liza, informally known as Izzy. I mainly prefer doing art-related things and writing stuff (very descriptive I know). I am in charge of a weekly article regarding obscure figures in history and their gossip, which I illustrate and write myself (no, there aren’t any mundane battles and endless lists of dates). I’m very glad to be here in the Nest and I hope that it will help me improve my factual writing and art, so I'm looking forward to being a part of this team!
Writer
Anastasia
Hi! My name is Anastasia and I’m in Year 9I. I mostly prefer fiction writing, but I love reporting on current events too. I really enjoy helping out on projects and ISB events or just volunteering in general. Amongst my many pieces of writing, you will always find a mystery novella of some kind, with an insane plot and full of surprises. I try to help with any projects that are going around, so you never really know what I’ll do next. Hope you enjoy the fiction stories!
Writer
Andreea
Hey! I am Andreea and I am currently in Y10. I joined the Nest last year and started doing podcast episodes, as well as being a writer and writing articles. This year, with the beginning of the event planning section, I would like to also help with the events and potentially produce new ones for our school. The club has helped me become more creative and enthusiastic about writing. The Nest is a student-led club with a lot of delightful members hence I hope to continue working with everyone here!

Hello everyone. My name is Ruyan, and I am a Year 12 student. I enjoy drawing, so some of my artworks may be featured on the website or social media. I will also be writing the script for some podcasts, and helping organize events. I hope to have a great time working with my colleagues at The Nest.
Event Planner
Yixin
Hey! I’m Yixin, currently in Year 12. I have joined as the event manager of the brand-new branch of event planning. I enjoy working as a part of logistics and planning all sorts of activities during my free time, so I hope to bring my knowledge, imagination, and commitment to the table to support 'The Nest' in its growth and ability to deliver unforgettable experiences for the students at our school. By the end of this school year, I hope to organise as many enriching events and activities for my fellow peers at ISB, providing everyone with an insightful academic year.

Hello, I am Adrian and I’m in Year 12. By joining the Nest, I am hoping to further my writing skills. As I am interested in engineering and technology, I am planning to write a monthly technology article, but I would also be interested in reporting on school and current events.
Writer
Catalina
Hello! My name is Catalina and I’m in Year 12. I like Maths and Economics, so most of my articles will be based on those topics. I’d also like to help out with writing podcast episodes or organise school events. I hope to have a fun time in The Nest!
