A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 10
Year 10 students have had lots of assessments in various subjects this week so that teachers can continue to monitor their progress. Students are encouraged to talk to their subject teachers if they need any support in regards to how to revise. There is also support in our homework club in the zone everyday after school with teachers available to assist students who need it. Last week, Assistant Headteacher Mr Greaves did an assembly about the Holocaust, as it has been 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and 30 years since the genocide in Bosnia. Students learnt about the events of the Holocaust and the Nazi regime so that they understood more about why this happened. Year 10 were also encouraged to reflect about the importance of standing up against injustice and discrimination in modern day society.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Hunger Games’ by Suzanne Collins
In a dystopian future, the capital holds annual games where one boy and one girl (aged 12-18) from each of the 12 districts is chosen to fight to the death in an arena. The games are televised and shown across the country as a reminder to the labourers in the district that they are powerless against the capital. When Katniss’ sister has her name called during the annual reaping, Katniss volunteers to take her place as a daring act of sacrifice. The contrast between the glamour of the capital and the harsh conditions of the districts is an eye opening com- mentary on the dangers of political corruption and capitalism.
