Auchinleck Academy pupils and staff helped raise money for Comic Relief with a week-long activity programme of various sports organised by the schools Young Ambassadors and Active Schools.

The activities ran every lunch time from Monday 9 March through to Red Nose day on Friday 13 March. Activities were £1 to play and 50p to watch and each sport took the format of pupil’s v staff.

Monday was the badminton challenge, which the staff won with a higher total of victories over the pupils. Tuesday saw the pupils take a narrow 1 point victory in the basketball. On Wednesday the staff powered their way to victory with a 2 games to 0 win at volleyball. Staff took the plaudits on Thursday as well in the table tennis with a higher game wins total and Friday saw the football played out with a 1 – 1 draw, meaning the staff were victorious overall.

All involved had a great time and the main aim of the event was to raise money for this good cause. £69 was raised through participation and spectating which will be a big help. Thank you to all who got involved in the event!
