A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 10
This week, with all of our students off on work experience, it has been relatively quiet, but we have been busy calling their employers and conducting site visits to see how everyone has been getting on and what new things they have been learning. Work experience can be a valuable learning opportunity for your child, giving them a taste of the working world and helping them explore future career options. It also helps develop important skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving, time management, and responsibility. We hope that succeeding in a workplace setting will give your child a sense of accomplishment and boost their confidence. We can’t wait to have them all back next week and hear all about their experiences. Clodagh M and Sophia S in 10SHO represented Waldegrave at the Fulwell Girls Golf Invitational on Monday, 24 June. Both girls completed an 18-hole competition with Clodagh coming in 2nd place. Clodagh and Sophia have shown impressive progress since taking up the sport over a year and a half ago, inspired by their PE GCSE. On Thursday, 27 June, three students from Year 10, Anna B, Isla D, and Isla P, represented Waldegrave at the Ogden Trust inter-schools physics competition and came very narrowly second by one point. They performed exceptionally well in both the quiz and the practical competition, where they had to design and build a balloon-powered vehicle. Last Friday, we held a Sports Day with a huge effort from the PE staff, who were very ably assisted by the fantastic PE prefects and House Captains. All their hard work fostered a wonderful team spirit in each of the house areas. Many staff members commented on how well the students did in seamlessly organising the younger competitors. Next week, we will have our termly celebration assembly, where we will present subject awards, top epraise scorers, attendance awards, and DofE awards. We will also unveil the new Head Girl and her Deputies for the next academic year.
