Sixth Formers Raise Funds for Suicide Prevention Week
We are thrilled to celebrate the fantastic efforts of our sixth form students, who recently organised a highly successful fundraiser in support of Suicide Prevention Week. The students came together to raise awareness for this crucial cause and dedicated their time and energy to raise funds for PAPYRUS. PAPYRUS is the leading national charity focused on preventing young suicide and promoting positive mental health and emotional wellbeing in young people.
On Friday, 27th September, the students wore pink and blue to show solidarity and create a vibrant atmosphere for the event. Through their teamwork and dedication, they raised an impressive £255.30 by selling delicious cookies and other baked treats to their peers and teachers. This heartwarming event was a true reflection of our school’s values of teamwork and compassion, with everyone contributing to its success.
