A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 9
During our final week of the half term, Year 9 students continued to keep the high expectations we set out at the start of the year. I am personally very proud of the students in our year who are consistently doing the right thing, going above and beyond in and out of lessons. Teachers often praise those students and take their time to let me know how well they are doing.
Fantastic news for the Year 8 and 9 Rugby Team in their match against St Richard Reynolds School. We have a victory of 85-15. The team really shone and we are so impressed by this result! Great work!
Our total Epraise for this half term is as follows: 1. 9EMU- 644 (2nd tutor group in the whole school)
2. 9SSR -618 (4th in the whole school) 3. 9PWA 617 (5th in the whole school)
Our students with the highest individual epraise points are: Ella R-J, Olivia M, Ivy M. Well done to everyone who has achieved epraise points this half term.l I also wanted to say a huge well done to the students who have maintained 100% attendance for this half term - keep it up! After half term, we will be focusing on ‘Kindness’. We will be encouraging students to share positive messages of kindness across the school and think about those in our community who consistently demonstrate kindness. I hope you and your child/ren have a fantastic break and we look forward to seeing them back, rested and ready for the next half term.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ - Margaret Atwood This book follows the Handmaid of a wealthy family as she struggles to fight for her rights in a dystopian society where women are used as breeding machines. While those in charge use threats to suppress the desires of the Handmaids, nothing can stop the desire she has to reunite with her daughter who was cruelly taken away as the repressive state was gaining power. Atwood combines fictional aspects with real world issues such as oppression of women and power divide to create a story that will make you simultaneously devastated and filled with motivation to ensure that we continue to fight for what all women everywhere deserve the right to choose. ~ Isla
