Christmas 2023

The activities for Christmas 2023 were truly wonderful and they left both staff and students with a wonderfully positive feeling. 

As always we collaborated with Father Charlie from St Theresa's church and we did the following:

• Bake the pan dulces which are then gifted by Father Charlie to those who are in need,
• Prepare and pack the Gift Boxes for Nazareth House
• Pack the 400 hampers with the help of NatWest Bank whose workers kindly volunteered their time to help us.

In the school the Year 10 and 11s run a very popular Santa's Grotto which raised an excellent £1000 for charity and created a wonderful atmosphere in the school.

The SEN Department run a Christmas Fayre and sold the many gifts which made. There were all sorts of decorations as well as a lovely cafeteria for all our guests.

Finally, we had our annual week-long spinathon and our Christmas Doors Competition.

In the spinathon we cycled the distance to Lapland (and more) to return to Elf to Santa. We are still counting the donations and sponsorship funds for Students4Students.

In the Doors Competition we reused discarded resources and materials to decorate the doors to our classrooms. It was good to see staff putting things away to reuse next year.
