A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 12
Year 12 students have had another busy week.
On Monday morning, Mr Montgomery, the Head of Politics, Economics and EPQ presented an Assembly to the Year 12 students about the Waldegrave MBA. This is an enterprise programme that interested students can choose to take part in. Participation will involve 2 days in school acquiring business skills and then competing in the Tycoon Competition, where the students will be able to set up and run their own business in teams. Students who took part in this before found it terribly exciting and extremely useful. Year 12 students also took part for the first time in their chosen activity as part of our extensive fortnightly enrichment provision. I am confident they have all got a lot out of it. This was also an opportunity for them to meet and spend time with students from outside of their subject groups, forming new friendships. On Friday 4th of October we have our Macmillan coffee morning cake sale. Macmillan’s Coffee Morning is one of the biggest fundraising events to support people living with cancer. Last year Waldegrave raised £964.18 in support of the charity. Students are encouraged to bake nut free cakes at home and bring these into school next Friday to sell at the coffee morning. They should also bring in some cash if they want to buy cakes on the day and help us raise money for this great cause!
Lastly, Waldegrave is hosting our first ever Wildlife Photography Competition and we would love to see some entries from our Sixth Form students. Please see the advert further in the bulletin for more details.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The old man and the sea’- Ernest Hemingway A beautiful tale of a fisherman’s extremely challenging journey through the gulf stream, with a burning desire to catch what he has never been able to previously. The emotive effects of isolation and the physical toll chasing your dreams can take become more and more prevalent throughout. Hemingway masterfully combines carefully crafted and peaceful imagery of the sea with immense mental torment, as well as taking readers on a journey regarding the emptiness we may feel once our goals have been achieved, and perhaps don’t bring the fulfilment we dreamt of, we always wish for more.
