FUNDRAISING
Our fundraising efforts continued until the days immediately
before our departure.
A selection of photos taken while fundraising
can be found HERE
Special mention, however, must go to
Steph Lawless who - on celebrating her 18th birthday
- selflessly asked for cash donations to the project
in lieu of presents for herself. This was a superb gesture
and one for which we make no apologies in publicising.
Thanks Steph!
Some of our most successful endeavours
included the infamous Not So Live Aid 4 concert, a lower
school disco and Valentine prom, a tuck shop and a raffle
held at the Year 6 Open Evening. Mentioning just a few,
other events included a sponsored walk, raffles, a sponsored
silence, cream teas, fairy fancy dress, wrist bands
and a sponsored abseil, No matter how large or small
the fundraiser, the income generated brought us that
much closer to our goal.
The table below shows the fundraising progress of the
students travelling on the expedition.
