Mr Thompson, along with  some of our Year 8s will be running a Christmas charity day on Monday 16th to give back to the community at this time of year. They are supporting the charity, Christmas Evangelism Outreach, who works in the Enfield area helping the homeless and others less fortunate to put a smile on their faces at Christmas.

Our Year 8s will be making Christmas ‘boxes’ and decorating cakes to give to the homeless and less fortunate ensuring a mix of ‘gift boxes’ for boys, girls and the elderly.

If you have any items that you could donate to this cause, please have your student bring them into one of the school offices by 10am on Monday. Empty shoeboxes will also be gratefully received.

Below is a list of items that would be ideal for the boxes, but please do not donate and perishable items such as fresh food.
