A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 8
We have had another successful week at Waldegrave. Year 8 students had an assembly celebrating Pride month looking into the history of the LGBTQ+ community and the individuals that have had to fight to achieve equality. The assembly was very informative and I am sure that the Year 8 students came away much more informed about the importance of community and equality. I would like to wish our Year 7 and 8 Cricket team the best of luck as they spend today participating in the RSSP Cricket Tournament at Barn Elms Playing Fields. Well done to 8STH for getting the most epraise points this week! This is followed by 8EPA and 8EJO. Good work to all of you! Our Year 8 Computing enrichment classes have been celebrating their success again this week with Coco, Polly, Amelia, Grace, Sila, Alexa, Victoria and Eva having their entries judged within the top 45 submission for the Your Voice is Power Competition 2023. Congratulations to these students on their successes. Sports day is coming up really soon and the sports captains will be required to start completing their team sheets for this event. This will need to be done by Tuesday 20 June and will be starting in form times next week. Drop Down day is also coming up soon. Throughout the day Year 8 students will be involved in workshops run by an organisation called ‘8 billion ideas’. The focus for these will be teaching students key skills around entrepreneurship, career education and skills for the future.

Circumstances force her to move to Paris where she attends the School of America in Paris and meets St. Clair, Meredith, Rashmi and Josh.
