Middle School Songwriting Club Releases New Album
Since February, the Middle School Songwriting Club has been meeting weekly to learn the art of songwriting. For almost everyone in the club, this would be their first time ever trying to write a song.
After listening and analyzing some of our favourite songs together, students were tasked with writing their own song, which they would share with the rest of the club. Students used a combination of pre-recorded samples and original recordings of their own playing and singing to bring their songs to life.
Finally, the time came to share with the rest of the club, and the results were impressive. Everyone was amazed at what their fellow songwriters had come up with. After everyone had shared their first song, it was clear that the Songwriting Club was ready to take on something much bigger.
After brainstorming some possible project ideas, the Songwriting Club decided to put together its own album. An album would not just require every member to contribute a song, but also consider all the other non-musical elements that come together to make an album, such as the cover, the CD design, and the order the songs should be played in.
The students were asked to submit potential design ideas for the album cover and CD, and everyone then voted on their favourite. The artwork chosen was designed by Audrey Jiang ’26.
Congratulations on your debut record, songwriters!
Land Acknowledgment

Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
