A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 11
This week we have all been working on pulling together the information to go inside the Year Book. This will be collated partly during tutor time with the House Captains putting it all together and then distrib- uting these at the end of term. The Year Book is a special token that can represent memories of the students’ time at Waldegrave. Students will get the chance to say a favourite quote; a short statement (<12 words). There is also the opportunity to submit a baby photo (this is optional).
Students are asked to fill out the Google Form posted on the google classroom by Monday January 27. Students can direct any questions to their House Captains.
I would like to remind all students to check their Google Classrooms regularly, the tutor classroom has lots of exciting opportunities and work experience options popping up and the ‘Year 11 GCSE Examina- tions 2024-25’ classroom has important information about the next round of mock exams including the timetable, resources and top tips. Shortly we will be releasing the leavers hoodie arrangements so please keep checking your emails. In the meantime please make sure you have secured yourself a ticket for the Year 11 prom and paid for the Year Book via Parentpay.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Hunger Games’ by Suzanne Collins
In a dystopian future, the capital holds annual games where one boy and one girl (aged 12-18) from each of the 12 districts is chosen to fight to the death in an arena. The games are televised and shown across the country as a reminder to the labourers in the district that they are powerless against the capital. When Katniss’ sister has her name called during the annual reaping, Katniss volunteers to take her place as a daring act of sacrifice. The contrast between the glamour of the capital and the harsh conditions of the districts is an eye opening com- mentary on the dangers of political corruption and capitalism.
