Whalsay school S1-3 pupils were involved in running two fundraising events for 2026 Trips & Activities.
An impressive £3575 was raised at the Fish & Chips fundraiser and a brilliant £2230 at the recently held Coffee Morning, giving an amazing total of £5805 raised for trips & activities for 2026!
The school would like to thank the following local businesses for their generous donations and support for both fundraisers:
- Endurance
- Resilient
- Defiant
- Tranquility
- Charisma
- Serene
- JWJ Whalsay Ltd
- Tetley & Anderson
- Northlink ferries
Thank you to all the volunteer cooks and helpers for the Fish & Chips night.
Alongside the generous parents who provided raffle donations for both fundraisers and baking for the Coffee Morning.
These fundraisers wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work from volunteer parents on the Trips & Activities working group – Anita Sparrow, Doreen Porter, Allison Hutchison, Julie Anderson, Margaret Leask, Caroline Manson, Gemma Jamieson, Diane Wishart, Leona Jamieson, and Kari Hamilton. Huge thank you for all your contributions.
Finally, well done to all the S1-3 pupils who were involved in helping at the events. Their duties included meeting and greeting the public, selling raffle tickets, clearing and setting up tables, and tending guessing games stalls.
We are extremely grateful for the support from the community in supporting our upcoming trips and activities. The first school trip of 2026 leaves TODAY for skiing in Italy, and the second trip to Edinburgh will be in June. The Activities days will also be held in June within Shetland.
