Year 9

This week, our team of Middle Years Leaders were thanked and farewelled at the Middle Years Assembly as the new leaders were announced. We also took the time in our Year 9 meeting to thank them. I would like to acknowledge their fantastic leadership during a difficult year. I have been so impressed with how they managed to lead and maintain a presence during Flexible Learning and without having in-person assemblies. It has been a difficult time and they have managed it with thoughtfulness, positivity and a fabulous sense of humour. A massive thank you to Emma Ung, Mia Eker, Lucinda King, Athena Nikolakopoulos, Madhavi Chauhan, Yianna Mitropoulos, Julia Lok, Ella Walters, Maya Lecuna and Amber Johnstone, they have been stellar representatives for the Year group.

In Luminary time this week the girls have been learning about and discussing the phenomenon of fake news. They have considered how we know if something is untrue and the value of seeking out alternative points of view to our own. It has been good to hear their reflections and thoughts on something that is becoming increasingly prevalent and, indeed, dangerous.
