Many thanks to everyone who contributed to a very successful Charities Week. Money is still being counted at the moment but it looks as though we have raised around £6,000 as result of last week’s activities.
Well Done to everyone !!

Raising Money For Cancer Research
Two of our pupils Fraser and Victoria McKinlay helped their mum Alison to officially hand over a cheque for the wonderful sum of £7770 to Dr Reed at the Beatson, West of Scotland Cancer Centre on Tuesday 2nd October.
The money was raised from a charity night which was held at the Renfrew Ferry on Friday 8th June. Fraser and Victoria helped with the planning and organisation of the event and on one of their holidays from school, sold £1430 worth of tickets for the gig and raffle tickets.
The money will be used to help purchase a new piece of scanning equiptment which will be used in the planning of radiotherapy treatment.
Well done Fraser and Victoria

If you would like to mount an activity such as Cake Baking, Henna Painting, Mastermind, X-Box workshop . . . anything which would make some money for Charities week – go to see Ms Hamilton (Business Studies) or Miss Khan (Maths) and get an application form from them. If you just want to discuss your ideas with them then go to see them this week.
If you want to perform in one of the lunchtime shows, go to see Mr O’Donnell (Maths). He will give you an application form.

Charities Week
Charities Week is only 7 weeks away. Now is the time to start thinking about what YOU are going to do this year to contribute to Charities Week.
If you are a singer, dancer, acrobat, juggler, comedian, musician … start thinking now about your act for the lunchtime shows. If you want to be involved in an activity such as cake baking, 5 – a – side football, tombola stall or whatever you think might help make money … now is the time to start talking to your pals to get some ideas.
Over the next few weeks you will be given details of how to go ahead and start up your fund raising activity. Meanwhile, get the thinking caps on and start talking to your friends about your ideas… and start practising your act if you want to be part of the lunchtime shows.
Anything you want to ask at this stage … see Mrs Hamilton in Business Studies or Miss Khan or Mr O’Donnell in Maths.
