A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 12
It has been lovely to see our Year 12 students continuing to settle into Sixth Form life. Last week our Year 12 students had an assembly from Mr Bannister on enrichment and the activity options available for them to take part in on Wednesdays in week B. The activities will begin next Wednesday 24 Septem- ber, which we hope will help break up their week and deepen their subject knowledge. Their choices will be sent to them.
Today was the final deadline for Year 12 students to complete subject changes and therefore no more changes can be made after today.
A reminder for students to check they are in the Year 12 Careers and Progression Google Classroom, as jobs and work experience opportunities are added weekly. These will all contribute to their UCAS personal statements and future careers.
Thank you and have a lovely weekend!
MS PUGH, HEAD OF YEAR 12
BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘A Room of one’s own’ by Virginia Woolf ‘A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction’ This poetically powerful extended essay takes readers on a journey through the history of feminine writers, as we witness first hand the barriers structural inequality placed in the path of the female sex. Wolfe encourages us to ensure the lost literary gifts of the feminine past can live on in the rooms we can call our own. This cornerstone of feminist liter- ature beautifully explores the immense power of personal and feminist interpretation, which cannot be recreated by males with complete literary freedom and space. Woolf’s examination of the patriarchal bookshelves, which leave no room for female narrative voices, ignites a desire to shine a light upon the women who damaged the locks males placed on literary conventions, finally enabling women to write fiction in a room of their own without interruption. Reading this will transform how you perceive the role of the female voice in literature today. - Z Maloney, 13TRO
