Lenten Charities – 15/02/19 Friday, 15 February, will be our annual Lenten Charity fundraising day in school. This year pupils will be working within their houses to raise money for different charities, including St Vincent de Paul and Father Hudson’s. Over the next week, pupils will be planning their charity stalls and then will run them throughout the day on Friday. This is a successful day where we manage to raise between £1500-£2000 each year. Your son/daughter may come home with requests to take prizes, cakes, games etc. into school please contact their form tutor if you need to clarify anything. Pupils can bring in some change to spend on the stalls during the day.
