Well done so far.  Keep up the good work.

House Charity 2012/13

First, apologies for the delay in keeping you posted on where we're up to with this.  At close on Friday 09th November, our fundraising total was £191.74.  That's pretty impressive, but Telford have now raised around £500.00 so we need to really up our game if we're going to stand any chance of beating or getting anywhere near their end-of-year total.

With this in mind, please come and see me if you have any fundraising ideas.  Apart from Seun Osho baking and selling cakes at open evenings, the only suggestions I've received to date have come from 9S.

House Charity 2012/13

Our charity total as of last Friday (19th October) = £89.76.  Thanks everyone.  Please give generously every week so that we can raise as much as possible to help EllenorLions Hospices.

Remember: If every student donates 20 pence per week (that's just £7.60 per person for the year in total), we can raise in the region of £1300 by July 2013.  This, coupled with stand-alone fund-raising activities such as sponsored runs and cake sales, etc., means that an overall total of £2000 is definitely achievable for us.

Mr Jarrett

House Charity 2012/13

So far you have raised a total of £65.39.  Please remember to give generously every week (usually form time on Fridays), and do let me, Dan or Tom know of any ideas you have to help raise as much as we can this year for EllenorLions.  Every penny counts so please dig deep.

Year 7 Inter-House Rugby

It was another great effort last Friday and there was certainly plenty of determination on display, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to get the win the boys so thoroughly deserve.  The final result was Newton (42) Stevenson (0).  

Our final game is today against Brunel, so let's hope the team can finish the tournament on a high note.  Once again, I'd like to thank them for their willingness to represent the House and great commitment.  Some of the more senior students in the House would do well to take note of this.
