Year 12 charity work

I am delighted to be able to report that the Year 12 students have once again impressed me with their proactive approach and commitment.

This week they have been involved in raising money for charity and showing their skills of ingenuity and community spirit once again.


CANCER RESEARCH
Students have decided to show their support for family and friends by raising funds to support this cause.


CAKE SALE
Samantha Barker, Christina Namooa-Foster and Hollie Roberts persuaded the big Tesco in Bicester to donate all the ingredients for a massive cake scale. They covered the work surfaces in the post 16 cafeteria with all the home made cakes and raised a massive £127.

All the proceeds from their efforts will go directly to cancer research as the girls said they wanted to do something positive to help.

SPONSORED WALK
Tasmin Dickinson, Ellie Vickers, Charlotte Elgar, Megan Mackay, Keri Allen and Abbie Lloyd were all involved in a sponsored 5 mile walk around Bicester. They wanted to raise funds for Sobell house hospice. As Kerri said, she wanted to raise money in memory of her 'second mum' who spent some time there.


GUEST SPEAKER
To further raise awareness of the work of cancer research and to highlight key health messages, the Year 12 students will be having a talk on Friday 21st October.

  1. Hiyah,
    I was just wondering if and when the senior students will be chosen and how this will happen, will they be chosen by you or what?
    Thankyou =]

  2. The senior students, including the Head boy & Head girl will be chosen after Easter. These students will be voted for by the Year 12 students and staff. The selected students will hold their post until they leave school at the end of Year 13. - At that time they will 'handover' to the following year group. This will be a very prestigious role in the school.
