Friday 12th July: Non uniform day

Pupils and staff raised £355 for the Emmaus Diocesan Partnership Group Environmental Project. This project aims to plant trees both in the UK and in partner schools in Africa to allow pupils a chance to make a difference in fighting climate change. Planting more trees is one of the simpler solutions in fighting climate change as trees absorb CO2.

Margaret and Teresa pupils donned their house colours and enjoyed a joint celebration of their houses.

Overall the houses raised £300 for The Soldiers Charity.
