A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 9
We are excited to welcome back Year 9 for another fresh term at Waldegrave. In tutor time this week, students were coming up with brand new new years resolutions, both for in and outside of school, to think about any positive changes that they could make moving forward. Hopefully these will be useful to the students when they consider what they want the rest of this academic year to look like.
It was wonderful to see so many students involved in the numerous festive performances we had before the Christmas holidays. Thank you to all who contributed to our Winter Festival and Christmas Concert. It was brilliant to see the students in their element and all of the performances were wonderful.
Congratulations to 9EJO who came top of the epraise leaderboard this week. In second place we have 9FWD. Well done to both of you!
This term Year 9 are going to be getting more information about their options choices, with two assemblies planned to help the students make an informed choice. There is also going to be a Year 9 options evening on Tuesday 6 February in which parents and carers will be invited to school to hear more about the options process, to help your child make an informed decision.
Now that we have started a new term, this is a reminder that uniform does need to be correct as we start a new year. All false/painted nails, fake eyelashes and additional jewellery needs to be removed.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
Looking for Alaska by John Green
“Looking for Alaska’’ by John Green is a poignant exploration of adolescence, love, and loss. The novel follows the journey of Miles Halter as he navigated the labyrinth of boarding school life and falls for the enigmatic Alaska Young. With a perfect blend of humour and heartbreak, Green crafts a narrative that resonates with readers long after the last page. “Looking for Alaska’’ is a beautifully written coming-of-age story that captures the essence of the human experience in a way that is both relatable and profound.
