They are having a cake sale for the Ryan Lee Trust on Friday 5th December and then a Christmas Disco is planned for 9th December, funds from which will be split between the Ryan Lee Trust and the Malaysia trip fund and finally on Friday 12th a Christmas Jumper Day is planned, funds from which will go to Save The Children. Until our next news, Sixth Form wishes you a very Happy Christmas and a Healthy and Peaceful New Year! We look forward to sharing further news with you in 2015! Children in Need 2014 Sixth Formers threw themselves into the organisation and running of the Children In Need Appeal on 15th November. The atmosphere within school was amazing with Sixth Formers and staff in fancy dress and a real sense of a carnival created, thanks to the school’s samba band playing during the lunchtime. A number of stalls and activities took place including; guess the name of the bear, cake sales , bacon cobs and sweet selling, guess the number of sweets in the jar, pie throwing at the teachers, a 6th Form versus staff football match, a penalty shootout, fill the Pudsey with coins, guess the number of lollies in the Pudsey, guess the teacher’s baby picture and basketball. All these stalls, plus the donations by students who paid to wear their own non-uniform clothes for the day, went towards raising a grand total of over £2000. So well done everybody and thank you!!!
