Dear readers,

Congratulations on completing the first term of the academic year! The first term is always the most daunting and you have made it through!

A spooky welcome to the 8^th Edition of Hear From Hele’s. I am immensely proud of the team who produced this edition. As year 10s, we are starting to feel the pressures of exams looming in the not-so-distant future. The writers of this edition are already shaping their futures, and I know they are going to be bright. I thank them very much for being so proactive this term.

Coming up:

We have our first guest writer! The much-loved Mr Opie writes about his experience visiting the student-produced space evening. It was out of this world!

I write about the incredible range of extracurricular activities that can provide a marvellous mental health break for anyone dealing with stress.

Isla brings the hello to Hello-ween in her first article of the year. If you are still stuck of costume ideas. Be stuck no more!

 Darya has been working in the field and went along to the Sixth form STEM workshops. If you have any interest in the fascinating world of STEM, then please take a look.

I promise that this edition is no trick and will be a treat for the avid readers amongst us!

Enjoy!
