CHARITIES AND COMMUNITY WORK – SEPTEMBER 2012-JUNE 2014

In Year 13, the Charities Committee co-ordinated a number of fundraising initiatives within the school and in the local community. Friends of Africa, Help the Aged, the Shoebox Appeal and St Vincent De Paul all benefited from their efforts.

In Year 14, the students raised £964 for the Niamh Louise Foundation.

We take this opportunity to thank parents and other family members for all the generous support that they have given to the school’s fundraising initiatives. Without such support we could do little to help those in need.

We would like to thank all our students for the part they played in enriching life within the school and in the wider community.

We would also like to thank all members of staff, teaching and ancillary, for their dedication and hard work in organising the numerous extra-curricular activities for our students.
