SRC News

The SRC will hold a Gala afternoon involving a walk-a-thon for their final event and fundraiser for 2018. The walk-a-thon will support the charity ‘Let’s Make Better’. The Walk-a-thon will take place at school on Thursday 8th November. The children will be involved in a variety of outdoor activities throughout the afternoon in their Peer Support Groups. All activities will be organised by the SRC members and House Captains. To participate in this Gala afternoon each child is asked to donate a non- perishable food item to support the local charity, ‘Let’s Make Better’. Please deliver all non- perishable food items to the old undercover area where an SRC member will collect your goods. A tally of all food items donated will collected and House points awarded. The SRC look forward to sharing more information about this event and awarding House points. The day is a mufti day (out of uniform).
