We have continued to show our commitment to helping a wide range of causes in the Junior School this term.  As part of our Harvest festival celebration we sent 63 bags of food to The Passage hostel for homeless people and £100 to Kids for Kids to help its work in Darfur. After half term the Junior School (with help from the Senior School) collected 145 shoe boxes to send to disadvantaged children through Operation Christmas Child. Our annual Poppy Appeal raised £194.49 and we have also sent £73.44 to Save the Children Fund, £170 to help save the orang-utans and over £500 to the Red Crescent for the victims of the Turkish earthquakes.

This term we also welcomed Stephanie Davenport from the British Heart Foundation to our Assembly.  She came to thank us for raising money for the BHF in our swimathon and skipathon last summer.  Well done to all the girls who helped to organise these fund raising events and our thanks to everyone who supported them.
