It has been a busy week at Roedean. Last week we acknowledged Anti-Bulling Week in a variety of ways. On Monday both students and staff wore Odd Socks, and during the week took part in a variety of fun activities in lessons and tutor periods. Thank you to everyone in the school community for reaffirming our collective commitment to ensuring the School is as positive and inclusive as possible. Last week, Year 8 and 9 Art Scholars have been busy in the Art Department, creating silhouettes to feature on one of artist Michelle Dufaur’s sculptures. The large withy sculpture will be displayed as part of Glow Wild at Wakehurst next month. In other news, congratulations to Megan in Year 12, who has won the national Stephen Spender Prize for Poetry in Translation. Megan entered the competition during the first lockdown; after winning her category, she has attended a virtual poetry workshop, and the awards ceremony was last week – well done! And finally, we are excited to announce our new book 100 Roedeanians is available to pre-order. The book is a gorgeous compilation of biographies and photographs of 100 of our notable Old Roedeanians, with entries researched and written by the girls, in celebration of 100 years of suffrage and the School being on its current site for 125 years in 2023. To purchase a copy, please visit the Roedean Shop.
