A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 10
I would like to start by saying well done to Year 10 for the determined and hardworking approach they have shown over the past two weeks during their assessments. Over the next couple of weeks students can expect to receive feedback on their exams from their teachers during lessons. The feedback they will receive should be used as a starting point for their revision topics as it will help them prepare for next term when they will undertake their Year 11 mocks. This week, eleven of our recently elected House Captains delivered speeches to the Year group in a Hustings assembly as part of our Head Girl / Head Student election process. Congratulations to all our house captains who spoke so powerfully and eloquently about their ideas and proposals for why they should be elected. Students and staff will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite candidates who will then proceed to the interview stage of this process. Congratulations to the U15 Cricket team who were runners up in the Chance to Compete regional finals that took place at Barn Elms last week. They played three games winning two very convincingly, which meant they ended up in a three-way super over final. Unfortunately they narrowly missed out on first place by just a couple of runs. Second place in Middlesex is still an amazing achievement! Well done to the team: Aditi A, Anesu C, Amelia G, Emilia L, Heidi M, Aditi S Connie S, Elodie W. Particular congratulations go to Aditi S and Amelia G who were our players of the tournament. On Wednesday a number of students spent the day off timetable as they attended St Mary’s University to participate in the Borough Athletic championships. We look forward to hearing about our students’ successes in next week’s bulletin.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
Killing God by Kevin Brooks Age recommendation 14+ The book features Dawn Bundy, a fifteen year old girl whose father claims to have found God, and leaves to continue his new, alternative lifestyle. The reader is led on an adventure with Dawn, which involves the struggles of friends and classmates. Kevin Brooks somehow manages to convey how young girls may feel about their bodies - specifically body dysmorphia - and describes their discomfort in their own skin. This book - to me - is very important. Killing God highlights many modern day problems for young people. It educates people and serves as a warning. ~ Recommended by Imogen C-A, Year 9 student
