THEME

YEARBOOK THEMES This is a list of themes that have been used, some many times. It is hardly complete and while the list may be useful, you must remember that it’s how you develop the theme rather than the phrase itself. It must be specific to your school, your year and must be developed so your readership feels like the theme fits. This list is provided to help you brainstorm. It is not supposed to be “pick a theme and force it to work.”
