In the run up to Christmas staff were asked to donate £5 to the Malawi fundraising project and get creative by designing and decorating their room door. Five pupil judges individually scored each door out of a total of 30 points (maximum of 10 points for each of creativity, originality and Christmas Spirit). All five judges’ scores were then added together with Mrs Reilly, classroom teacher of Performing Arts, announced as the deserving winner. Honorable mention should go to Ms Donnelly and Mrs Hunter in second and third place respectively.

To support St Andrew’s Hospice the school has delivered a range of fundraising activities throughout the year, including a staff book swap, a Christmas tree where staff could post their season’s greetings in lieu of sending Christmas cards and a sale of items at lunch time in the foyer which was run by senior pupils. All proceeds raised were sent onto St. Andrew’s Hospice to support their fantastic work.

Forgey foods has come to town! The XL class recently organised a bake sale as part of their Enterprise unit to achieve their Prince’s Trust Award. The ‘company’, known as Forgey Foods, sold a selection of tasty, home baking and bought in ‘high end patisserie’ treats to staff at interval in the staff room on Thursday 13^th December!  The boys were very proud of their work and of having the opportunity to serve staff some delicious refreshments.
