Over the last month, many of our pupils have come up with some extraordinary ways to help others and Make a Difference.

  • Tom has set up a schools pay it forward fund to provide food to people in a village in Costa Rica, raising over £380 so far. 
  • Cameron completed the 2.6 charity challenge by skipping for 26 minutes to raise money for Sailing Tectona, the organisation that operates Mount Kelly's boat Olga. He has raised more than £145 so far.
