Year 8 Charity


On the 24th of June Year eight hosted a fun fundraising morning in order to raise money for our year group charity ‘SHELTER’: An organisation which caters for homeless families who need support and offers housing advice for those people in housing need.

Students contributed by purchasing various goods and bringing home made products to sell on the morning,
Everyone worked together and in the spirit of the day, had fun and raised over £300 towards the charity; over the remainder of the term there is a prize raffle for a Nintendo wii

Activities included bring and buy, various raffles, ice cream & chocolate fountain stalls, coconut shy, sponge the teacher , face painting , gladiator challenge & sporting activities

Mr Wass (Head of year eight) commented:
“I am very proud in the way the students and the staff all contributed in making the morning a successful fundraising adventure”
He also said:
“The Year Eight student voice had worked extremely hard before the event in preparing for the day and they are now developing their own role within school
The school wishes to thank Morrisons Pontefract & Trebor Bassett Pontefract for their support and we are looking forward to future events.
