A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 12
I have been delighted to hear how much the Year 12s have enjoyed their first term of Sixth Form and how passionate they all are about their chosen A-Level subjects they have chosen to study. Part of their high levels of satisfaction also stemmed from the number of events they have been able to take part in. These have included talks, trips and a careers fair. There will of course be more to come during the spring term, when we will also launch the UCAS process. Last Friday, we enjoyed the annual Carol Concert at St Augustine’s Church in Whitton. It was a wonderful event - well done to all the Year 12 participants! This week, our Music students attended a trip to the Barbican centre to see the A-level set work: Haydn 104, ‘London’. On Tuesday, we had our annual Waldegrave Christmas Jumper Day, the charity that was supported this year was ‘Save the Children’. Donations can still be made via ParentPay. On Wednesday students enjoyed their Christmas lunch - they all looked amazing in their Christmas hats! Also on Wednesday afternoon, the Year 12 Drama and Music students attended a very interesting talk by the theatre director and the orchestrator of ‘The Cabinet Minister’. Finally, today’s Winter Festival performance will take place from 7pm in the School Hall. I hope to see many of you there supporting our Year 12 performers. Well done to Olivia M-M her entry won a place in our Wildlife Photography Competition, with her photo appearing in the Waldegrave 2025 calendar, which has already been made available for purchase to parents/carers, as well as Waldegrave staff. Wednesday will be the last day of term for our Sixth Form students. As this is our final parental bulletin of 2024, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all parents and carers for their support during the longest term of the year. I would also like to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
MR STAVROU, HEAD OF YEAR 12
BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘I who have never known men’ - Jacqueline Harpman A dystopian tale of 40 women locked in a bunker who have no memory of how they became trapped with all autonomy and romantic opportunity stripped away. The youngest woman’s disorientating narrative centres around the female experience, in an attempt to answer philosophical questions regarding the essence of identity and what truly is an innate aspect of human nature. The book shines a light on the undeniable importance of writing down experience, to maintain sanity through the creation of an imagined future reader. The detrimental consequences of isolation, complete under exposure and grief are explored in immense detail. Knowledge also plays a key role, are we guilty of taking our knowledge for granted? - Zara M, Year 12
