A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 12
This week Mr Bannister launched the volunteering programme as part of Year 12 enrichment. It was great to hear that so many students are already volunteering and contributing to their local community in many ways. Students who do not already have a placement are encouraged to find one in the next couple of weeks. Students also started tutor time activities on University preparation in form time. It is important that students are proactive in researching all the options available but also that they realise they do not need to rush into making a decision at this stage. We want to provide reassurance that we have started this process early, so there is no immediate pressure to make final decisions on anything and there will be lots of support available from the school. This week some of our Year 12 students attended The World Leaders Tacitus Lecture. It was inaugurated in 1988 and is now believed to be the largest event of its type in the City of London. This event is held annually and provides the Company with an opportunity to demonstrate to a wider audience its concern with issues affecting world trade. Today some of the Year 12 RE students attended the Candle Conference which is a live event covering ‘God and the Good’ that will explore content focusing on the Philosophy of Religion and Religious Ethics papers. The event aims to get students really excited about the subject, enriching and extending their knowledge and understanding as well as supporting them in analysing, evaluating and making informed, well-reasoned academic judgements.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
“ Letters From The Underground ” by Fyodor Dostoevsky
“ Letters From The Underground ” by Fyodor Dostoevsky (translated from Russian) is a deep dive into the human psyche from the perspective of a man who is overly negative and is criticising himself. It is in the form of a “confession” and explores the complexity of the man’s mind. I would recommend this novella to those who want a challenging but rewarding read, that will draw you in and intrigue you.
