House Charity Update
2012/13
Last year
the Newton, Telford, Darwin, Stephenson and Brunel united to raise funds for
the EllenorLions Hospice. The unification of the five houses was in memory of
Mr White, a valued member of staff, who sadly passed away after being diagnosed
with cancer.
It was fantastic
to see the whole WGSB community come together to support this great cause and
try to raise £10,000 for this great charity. An enormous amount of time was
contributed by students and staff to help WGSB to achieve the high target set
at the beginning of the year.
Newton house
held a number of events throughout the year in order to try and hit the £2000
target set at the beginning of the year by each house. I am happy to report
that every student has managed to contribute in some way to the grand total
raised by Newton House.
After adding
all the funds together that were collected from weekly collections, Own Clothes
Day and other fund raising competitions held over the year, Newton House smashed
the £2000 target and managed to exceed it by over £280 and come
second to Telford in the fund raising competition by £50.
I would like
to thank you to everyone who contributed towards the Newton fund raising
campaign, your time and effort helped us raise a massive £2 280.41for the
EllenorLions Hospices which help the hospice to fund a whole day of care to all
its patients!
Looking
ahead to the school year 2013/2014 the house charity will go back to the
original format, each Form group of Newton House will have the opportunity of
presenting a charity of their choice to Newton House. Once each Form has
presented their charity, the whole of Newton House will have the chance to vote
for the charity they wish to support.
I look forward
to your suggestions and hope that we can choose a charity that will inspire the
whole of Newton House
Thank you
