In support of Macmillan Cancer Support, the Student Council hosted a bake sale with the generous help of the school’s kitchen staff, who provided delicious cupcakes and cookies. Students and staff eagerly participated, purchasing sweet treats during breaks to contribute to the charity’s efforts in supporting individuals affected by cancer raising £600.
Lady Garden Foundation was the recipient of £564. The Student Council organized an ice cream sale, offering a variety of frozen treats to students and staff. The event was met with great enthusiasm, with proceeds helping to raise awareness and funds for women’s health and gynaecological cancer research.
For Cancer Research UK, the Student Council found a unique way to celebrate National Teacher’s Day by selling Krispy Kreme donuts. Students took the opportunity to show their appreciation for their teachers while also contributing to a crucial cause in the fight against cancer raising £210.
