Children in Need wholeheartedly supported at College

On Friday, 16 November, staff and students joined in the greatly anticipated numerous fundraising events
taking place for Children In Need.
Year 8, led by the enthusiastic Mr Reynolds, ran an organised car washing service. lots of fun and laughter
were to be heard with many students ending up as wet as some of the vehicles! Millie Snodin, in Year 12,
organised a very successful Staff v Student Netball match, raising over £150. In the Dining hall staff had the
pleasure of listening to students entertaining them with various musical performances along with students
acting as waiters and waitresses. Year 9 successfully ran a cake sale, but such was their popularity that they
ran out of chocolate cupcakes within 15 minutes, but managed to raise £78 - what an achievement!
One of the main highlights of the day was the messy, but rather entertaining, Staff v Biscuits Competition.
9 members of staff sat anxiously waiting to see what had to be eaten within 4 minutes. easily consumed by the
triumphant Mrs Wilson, head of Biology, were 16 crackers, 7 custard creams and 4 chocolate biscuits, with the
other staff looking in disbelief and amazement.
We are delighted to report that the College has raised £641.30 for this good cause.
