Lady Macbeth throughout her scenes is deceived as this evil, cold-hearted woman and is very easy for the audience to only think of her like this, but I think she has a more complex character.

Personal Statment. Grade 9
One of my main goals for this year was to be more involved in school whether it’s activities, events or just in class. Another goal I had was to be happy, and I think by being more involved in school this helped me achieve this goal. This year I have taken part in multiple […]
Grade 9 Science reflection
After taking the grade 9 exams and receiving the back I feel like there is lots of growing to be done. I feel like this because I didn’t do very well in my exams. Some things I will take away from this experience is knowing which sciences I need the most work in and who […]

I have heard a lot about the environment and animals and what we can do to save them so I thought this talk was going to be about the same things that we have seen many times before. This talk, however, was different. The speaker talked about her passion towards what she does and how […]
ENG writers fortnight: fostering children, when it doesn’t work out
Going into this talk I didn’t know what to expect. I had heard about fostering children before, but not in this much detail. Taking in a troubled child expecting to make a better life for them in a short period of time that you have them isn’t a reality. The speaker that came in didn’t have […]
