A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 10
This week the students had an assembly with Ms Dhir and Ms Salsbury which celebrated International Women’s day and British Science week. This focused on the theme of International women’s day which is Accelerate Action, and the need for all genders to take positive action to increase the rate of progress in reaching gender equality. This was then linked to the theme of British Science Week which is Change and Adapt and focused on how women in science can act as catalysts for change and overcome barriers potentially faced in pursuing STEM careers. It was all linked back to how our school values support action towards gender equality: - Enjoy: Celebrate the achievements of women and the diversity that makes our world stronger, learning from the inspiring women around us and the progress we can make together. - Achieve: Strive to break down barriers and create opportunities for everyone to succeed, regardless of gender. Let’s work towards a future where all women and girls can achieve their fullest potential. - Empower: Use your voice and actions to uplift others. Empower those around you to believe in themselves, pursue their passions, and make a difference in the world. In tutor time students are learning money skills such as managing finances, understanding taxes and budgeting. We hope students are finding this interesting as these valuable life skills will help when they leave education and start in the world of work. Well done to 10PGU for getting the most epraise points in the year so far. Good work! Today students and staff have been wearing red to celebrate Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day (voluntary donations can still be made via ParentPay). We held a House Competition for the Best Joke, with each tutor group sharing their best cheesy joke and Year groups voting on their favourites. We will share the winners next week!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘One of Us is Lying’ by Karen M. McManus The book is set in a high school, where five teenagers Addy, Cooper, Nate, Bronwyn and Simon all end up in detention together. A few minutes into the detention a car accident happens right outside, while their teacher hurries out to check what has happened, one of the students, Simon, falls dead. The remaining four students are the main suspects because they were present during his death BUT…. who did it? I really loved reading this book, after the first chapter I was hooked and couldn’t seem to put it down. There are cliffhangers everywhere. New evidence keeps popping up and every time I thought I knew who had killed Simon, more clues came out suggesting another person. Every character has a secret to hide, and an interesting backstory. At the end there was such a plot twist that I was left with my jaw hanging open, I could never have guessed how the murder case unravels. I recommend this to people who love murder mystery!!
