A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 9
It was great to see so many students dressing up in red last Friday in support of Red Nose Day. Tutor groups came up with ‘cheesy jokes’ where the best ones were selected to be read out by members of staff in school. The video (which you can also see on our instagram) was then played in PM registration for an hilarious end to the day. Congratulations to 9SAN for winning the best joke competition. Well done! Today we have celebrated the achievements of those students who have demonstrated the Waldegrave values of ‘Achieve, Enjoy and Empower’ in our termly celebration assembly. It was a real pleasure to see so many stu- dents being recognised for their contribution to the school. Well done! The e-praise points have been counted and the form group winners were 9EMU. Our individual leader was Mia C in 9EMU. Congratulations! Additional congratulations to Lily F and Keira E, 9EFR and Fleur B, 9EMU for achieving a distinction in their recent Grade 2 and 3 guitar exams. While Annabel L 9EFR achieved an exceptional 92/100 for her Trinity Grade 2 digital singing exam. These are fantastic results, well done all! As we move into the last week of term, we encourage our students to maintain their high standards right until the last minute of the last day. Please can I ask parents and carers to ensure that students resist the temptation to go for nails, hair colours or piercings that will bring students out of line with our uniform policy.
Many thanks for your support and have a good weekend!

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!! - Camille P, 8PUN
