A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 10
We are now very much into the Spring half term. This week in tutor time students have been working towards the ‘Young Minds competition’ sponsored by M and S. This competition takes place in year on world menta health day, to show young people that they are not alone with their mental health. M&S are looking for inspiring designs to feature on two special pieces in their 2025 YoungMinds Hello Yellow kidswear collection – on a yellow sweatshirt and a yellow hoodie that will be sold in M&S stores and online. We will also be awarding a prize to the best Waldegrave entry as well. All entries should go to Mrs Davies. This Friday we also introduced our new joke competition for comic relief. Each tutor group must submit your best cheesy joke by Thursday March 20th. On March 21st, each tutor group in your year will vote on their favourite joke. House Points will be awarded to winning groups! This week at Waldegrave we hosted the Jack Petchey Speak Out challenge. A competition that encourages students to make speeches about topics that they are proud of. Many schools come from throughout the borough to compete and speeches are always truly incredible and empowering. Congratulations to Pea Robinson, Isabelle Edwards and Coco Blank for making it to this final round and for speaking out so passionately. They should all be very proud of themselves. On Friday March 21st, students and staff are invited to wear red on this non-uniform day, and to make a voluntary donation using ParentPay. This is all in support and celebration of Red nose Day. Students who do not wish to wear red will be expected to wear their normal school uniform, and that all expectations still apply. Students wearing clothing inappropriate for a school setting will be asked to wear a uniform top provided by the school.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘One of Us is Lying’ by Karen M. McManus The book is set in a high school, where five teenagers Addy, Cooper, Nate, Bronwyn and Simon all end up in detention together. A few minutes into the detention a car accident happens right outside, while their teacher hurries out to check what has happened, one of the students, Simon, falls dead. The remaining four students are the main suspects because they were present during his death BUT…. who did it? I really loved reading this book, after the first chapter I was hooked and couldn’t seem to put it down. There are cliffhangers everywhere. New evidence keeps popping up and every time I thought I knew who had killed Simon, more clues came out suggesting another person. Every character has a secret to hide, and an interesting backstory. At the end there was such a plot twist that I was left with my jaw hanging open, I could never have guessed how the murder case unravels. I recommend this to people who love murder mystery!! - Camille P, 8PUN
