A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 12
It was wonderful welcoming back the Year 12 students after the half-term break. I hope they all had a restful break and the opportunity to catch up with family and friends. This Tuesday Mr Bannister welcomed parents and carers of our Year 12 students to discuss the Oxford and Cambridge University application processes. If there are any questions following the talk, please reach out either to myself or Mr Bannister via email: sixthform@waldegravesch.org Next week our Year 12 A Level Fashion and Textiles students will visit the Victoria and Albert Museum, while all Year 12 Biology students will get to attend the annual Biology in Action event. I am sure both these trips will be inspirational, from learning about the past to cutting edge technologies! Finally, next Thursday our Year 12 languages students have the opportunity to take part in a journalism competi- tion. SCOOP! is a fast-paced language and journalism event for students, it will challenge their skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking. We wish them luck!
Have a good weekend!
MR STAVROU, HEAD OF YEAR 12
BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘Hag-seed’ - Margaret Atwood A marvellous retelling of the infamous Shakespearian play ‘The Tempest’. The story is weaved into the life of troubled, grieving Felix, theatre director, as he is exiled out of his town by his closest friends. He tries to avenge those who betrayed him and come to terms with the loss of his daughter as he directs ‘The Tempest’ with inmates as the actors as part of his new job. Atwood’s clear intelligence in Shakespeare’s work along with her unique, compelling writing style makes this book perfect for people who are interested yet perhaps intimidated by the complexity of Shakespeare.
