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
