On Friday 18th March, The Kimberley School hosted
a lively and fun-filled day to unite in the nationwide
fundraising for Sports Relief. This tremendous charity
gives 50% of the money raised to help those in need
within the UK and the other 50% to people struggling
around the world in the poorest communities. The
money goes towards helping people’s mental and
physical welfare as well as providing vital education to
children. Kimberley’s pupils approached the day with
energetic enthusiasm and excitement. Joggers, leg
warmers and sweatbands galore - the students donned
their best sports gear to take part in a mile run and
enjoy other dynamic activities such as dodgeball,
rowing and penalty shootouts. Whilst many shed
pounds during rigorous exercise, others shed both
hair and tears during the highly anticipated leg waxing!
Additionally, stalls selling cakes, hosting contests
and displaying the schools overwhelming talent at an
open-mic proved a huge success.
Thank you to all the teachers and sixth-formers for
arranging an extraordinary day, and the pupils who
took part and donated to raise a whopping £1,632. You
all helped make the School’s Sports Relief fundraiser
a day to remember.
