On Wednesday 15 July the annual ‘Try Something New’ Charity Day raised a superb £819 from the school community for Maggie’s Cancer Support Charity. School staff supported the event by giving up their free time to organise alternative activities for students in place of their lessons.
There were a huge variety of activities such as rocket building, British Sign Language and Learn to Speak Thai. Students were able to try new sports like Softball, Kubb, Mat Races and Golf – all of which proved extremely popular. Traditional activities such as Lego, Chess and board games were also enjoyed by many. Creative classes in Graffiti Art, Make Your Own Badge and Pizza and Fashion design allowed students to express themselves. Additionally, some staff really challenged the students with Panto Workshop, Taskmaster and Escape Rooms-style problem solving.
Mr Grier, PE teacher, who organised the event said “Our students in Year 7, 8 & 9 had an enormously varied day and all the school staff who led the activities thoroughly enjoyed sharing their enthusiasm. It was a really great way to end the year and donate to a very worthy cause”.
Thank you very much for your support and generosity.
