A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 9
At the end of last week, students were the first year group to have a hustings assembly where they were invited to listen to the twelve Year 10 candidates for Head Girl. I know that many of our Year 9s were inspired by these students. I think it was a wonderful opportunity for them to think about their own Waldegrave journey and how some of them may want to pursue a Leadership position in the school next year! Another week closer to the final totals for Year 9 Epraise. Here is our current leaderboard. It does seem the race for first place might be hotting up! Keep up the fabulous work.
1st: 9EMU 2,702 2nd: 9PWA 2,339 3rd: 9FCO 2,104 4th: 9SSR 2,074
The Duke of Edinburgh challenge is well under way and we have many Year 9s out on their assessed expeditions over the coming weeks. We hope that they have a fabulous time and are able to learn some invaluable life skills along the way. We do understand that students may be tired from these expeditions, but we would appreciate your support in getting them into school and making sure they are not missing any unnecessary learning. We wish them all the best, and we are excited to hear about their adventures.
Have a lovely weekend!
MRS MORTIMER, HEAD OF YEAR 9
BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘King of Nothing’ by Nathanael Lessore
I really, really really enjoyed this book! I specifically enjoyed how realistic and actu- ally quite intense it was towards the end. The characters are all written so well. For example I really like how you can tell Anton is not as bad as Kehinde from the start when he kind of defended Mathew when Kehinde was about to give him a hard time. The scene where Mathew and Anton are at a sleepover and they’re talking about his nan made me cry! It was just so wholesome and the boys’ unexpected friendship is such a lovely part of the book. I will definitely suggest this book to people in the future!
