As always, we will be using each fundraising activity as a teaching opportunity so that our students can learn about the social and moral issues people across the world face, how the money we raise can help benefit them and identify our place in the worldwide community. Although fundraising for these charities is vital for the people and families they support please remember to look after your family first, donate wisely.
We really appreciate your continued support and hope to have lots of fun too supporting these worthwhile causes.
