A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 12
Last Friday A Level Art and Photography students had the amazing opportunity to attend a series of lectures by an exciting range of artists to learn about the development of their work and their creative process at the Emmanuel Centre in London. Students enjoyed the experience and we look forward to seeing how they have been inspired in upcoming coursework. Also last Friday, a number of Year 12 students took part in the Carol Service at St. Augustine’s Church. The students singing was uplifting and the congregation really enjoyed joining in the festive singing. Well done to all who took part, whether as a soloist, reader, musician or member of the choir. On Monday, Year 12 Psychology students attended the annual Psychology in Action conference in London. In an inspiring programme, leading Psychologists and academics addressed a range of psychological issues and outlined their cutting-edge research, including that on the purpose of sleep, anthropomorphism, the experience of memory, the irrational brain and why we have a hard time trusting driverless cars. It was a unique opportunity for students to take themselves beyond the A Level specification and immerse themselves in the issues that are interesting psychologists today. On Wednesday it was our school Christmas lunch. It was so lovely to see our sixth formers in the Christmas spirit listening to Christmas songs and enjoying a Christmas dinner. Yesterday, students had the opportunity to wear their Christmas jumpers and they all looked wonderful. That once again added a festive note amongst our students. Students and their families were kindly requested to make a donation either via ParentPay or our JustGiving page, with all proceeds going to Save the Children. Huge thanks to all who have contributed towards this worthy cause. There is still time for you to make a dona- tion, if you are able to do so. Well done to Ameiyah J in 12RFG who has achieved a Distinction in her Grade 8 Guitar exam! The last day for Year 12 will be Wednesday 20 December. This will be a full day and students will be expected to attend all lessons. We hope you all have a lovely Christmas break and a well deserved rest.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a book written in the perspective of a 15 year old boy named Charlie, who is entering a new nerving year of highschool. It follows the life of him and his friends and the challenges that they face, finding their true selves in the process.
What I found most powerful was hearing about the experiences of the different characters as they were growing up.
