Operation Christmas Child
We have supported Operation Christmas Child again this year and, under the guidance of Mrs Carter, Mrs Hurst and member of the Charities committee, 88 boxes were brought into school to be sent to children in countries in both Europe and Africa. The boxes were predominantly collected by Year 7 pupils, but all years had some involvement. Well done girls! Click here to be transfered to Operation Christmas Child's website.
Charity Staff Netball Match - November 2008
On Monday 17th November staff teamed up to play in a charity netball match.
The Green Team comprised of Mr Routledge, Mr Evans, Mr Jones, Mr Wood, Mrs Miller, Mrs Heywood and Mr Price.
The Yellow Team; Mrs Syms, Mrs Colvin, Miss Tyndall (sub Dr Barge), Mrs Houghton, Dr McWatt, Mr Lamb, and Mr Hood.
The Green Team was victorious after Mr Evans successfully netted a rebound. Spectators, however, felt that the Yellows were unlucky!
Money raised will be used to support a prostate cancer charity and will help towards our own fundraising for the Sports Hall.
If you enjoyed watching this please support the forthcoming Staff Olympics, organised by Year 11.

Save the Children - September 2008
Our Thanksgiving Service at the end of the Summer Term included a collection for 'Save the Children'. We raised £88 end which was presented to Barbara Corlette in assembly. In addition to this our very own Mrs Carter has been campaigning for volunteers to knit hats for premature babies which will be distributed by 'Save the Children'. Over 200 hats were knitted by Mrs Carter, girls in knitting club, friends and relatives of the school. Thank you to Mrs Carter and everyone who has been involved in this campaign.
Mr. Lamb's 500k challenge
Mr. Deane Lamb is planning on running 500 competitive kilometres in one school year to raise money for Cancer Research UK, starting with the Crosby 10 miler on Sunday 22nd June!
500k equates to over a marathon a month and is far enough to run to Brugge!
