A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 10
It has been a very busy week for Year 10. On Wednesday we held PCM appointments and it has been lovely to hear positive feedback about the progress Year 10 are making. On Tuesday students attended the World of Work Conference whilst GCSE Drama students not only started to undertake their Composition 1 tech and dress rehearsals over the past 2 weeks, but also watched a performance of one of their core texts, The IT. More information regarding both events can be found further below. The U16 Basketball Squad played their league final against Grey Court on Wednesday last week. They faced very tough opposition as always when playing Grey Court and were under a lot of pressure in defence. The team kept a positive approach and started to link passes and put shots up and score baskets. The final score was 18-44 to Grey Court and this result meant that Waldegrave finished runners up in the league. Well done to everyone who played, and Roya for being voted player of the match. Congratulations to Elodie S in 10SAS for achieving a Merit in her Grade 7 ABRSM Violin exam! Our top 3 epraise tutor groups since returning to school this term are; 1st 10FBA - 50 points, 2nd 10PON - 47 points and 3rd 10SAS - 43 points. Last week myself, Mr Sweeney and Ms Dhir had the very difficult job of shortlisting the applications for House Captains. We would like to commend all applicants for the high quality of the letters they submitted. The 24 successful candidates will carry out group and individual tasks as part of the next stage of the House Captain process on Friday after school. Good luck to all students involved. We will be finalising the Prefect application process and notifying students about the role they have been successful in achieving over the coming few days. Once again, well done to all those who have applied as the standard of applications was extremely high.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
He Said / She Said by Erin Kelly “The betrayal flayed my skin, but his cowardice chips the bone. It poisons the marrow.”
Laura thought herself the hero when she saved a young woman from a brutal attack. This would go on to change her life in ways that no one could have predicted. Now she and her boyfriend Kit live constantly in fear, tiptoeing around society, trying to remain as invisible and off the radar as possible. However Laura knows that something is hidden, she is never quite seeing the whole picture of the story. This gripping thriller leads to crazy character developments and
horrifying revelations up till the very last page. ~Recommended by Miranda H, Year 9 student
