KC Cares for Animals is a magazine on animal welfare that is run by the students of KC High. This year the magazine was planned, curated, and edited by the Grade 7 learners. They split themselves into smaller groups, such as the design team, write-up team, meme team, testimonials & interview team, visual arts team, and coordination team. Over the entire academic year, the learners interviewed teachers, people who run a pet shelter, and pet-lovers. Their reflections were then edited and added as testimonials. They curated a series of write-ups, testimonials, art work, and even created memes. They also planned a fund-raising drive for Adhvika Foundation, a pet shelter in Perambur. The funds were handed over to Mr. Shanmuga Sundaram of Adhvika for their new shelter. This was finally edited, reviewed, and published as KC Cares for Animals 2021-22.
