Present Aid
Once again this year Ms Masters from the English Department is organising
Present Aid. This involves Form classes collecting ‘loose change’ during
morning registration for the next few weeks. At the start of December each
individual form class selects and buys a gift from the ‘Present Aid’
catalogue in association with Christian Aid to be given to those in the
developing world. The Presents bought will be announced at the Christmas
Service on 21st December.
Children In Need
The school was a hive of activity last year raising funds for Children in
Need. The charities committee organised a number of events including ‘Guess
the number of sweets in the Jar’, a Non Uniform Day and ‘Staff v Pupils
Football’. By the end of the day on Friday the school had raised £925.69.
Well done to the Charities committee and all who took part!!
Macmillan Cancer Relief
Before the October break the school held a coffee morning in aid of
Macmillan Cancer Relief. The event was held in the staffroom at morning
interval and, thanks to contributions from staff and pupils, was a huge
success. The school also held a non-uniform day and a “Guess the Monkey’s
Birthday” competition to raise money. The total raised was £1058. Thanks go
to the staff, S6 pupils and the Charities Committee for organising the day
and for all the staff and pupils who willingly parted with their money for a
good cause.
Red Nose Day
A big thank you to all those who helped us raise more than £1100 for last
years Red Nose Day. |
