From Netball to Nerf Guns, Target Football to Twister, and Sponge the Teacher to Splat the Rat, the whole School RAG Week was packed full of fun and philanthropy.
The RAG (Raising and Giving) week was organised by our five Sixth Form Leadership Grant Holders – appointed from among 20 applicants in February – who were tasked with organising an event to serve the whole School community. A range of weird and wonderful stalls were planned for both the Prep and Senior Schools to enjoy throughout the week, raising money for Pebble Project. The week of activities culminated in an assault course challenge and home clothes day on Friday.
The event was a huge success, with over £2,000 raised for Pebble Project so far, and still counting! Pebble Project works with children from farming communities to access education programmes and health, nutrition and social work services in areas across the country. During their recent hockey and rugby tours to South Africa over the summer, students were lucky enough to visit some of the children helped by the charity and saw first-hand the amazing work being done there.
The incredible amount of money raised and the smiles on the faces of all the pupils who participated with such enthusiasm and generosity, are testament to the success of their endeavours, and demonstrate why they were selected to represent our School and how they embody our leadership programme.
