Fundraising
Pupils attending the Science department’s trip to London recently took over DMC Car Wash and Valeting Centre in Netherton, offering car washes to raise money.
All pupils had great fun using the car- washing equipment and although soaked and exhausted by the experience, they managed to raise £322.61.
Many thanks to Kevin Brannan and Paul McMahon for allowing the pupils the opportunity to run their business for a few hours and also for their very generous donation.
Thanks also to staff, pupils and parents who helped make the evening a success. Fairtrade Award
The school has successfully renewed its Fairtrade FairAchiever status.
The FairAchiever award is the highest award that a school can gain from Fairtrade and is renewed every three years.
Mrs Caroline Ashmore, principal teacher of Business and Enterprise would like to thank all staff and pupils for their continued support and for incorporating Fairtrade into the curriculum. Drumming Success
