£12,000 Raised as Farnborough Hill Celebrates Successful Sixth Form Charity Week

Sixth Form Charity Week is an annual event that raises money for causes close to our hearts through fun-filled events. It is an integral part of the Farnborough Hill year, and we were honoured to have organised it. This year, we chose to support the Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue, Kidney Care UK, Phyllis Tuckwell and Jigsaw South East.

On Monday we wore green for St Patrick’s Day. It was great to see everyone in their green clothes and we loved all the brilliant shamrock-themed accessories!

Tuesday dawned bright for Kai's Colour Run: a new, incredible event in honour of our late friend and classmate, Kai, who passed away last year. The sun was shining and there was not a cloud in sight whilst the School came together as a community to celebrate Kai's colourful life - there is not a doubt in my mind that Kai would have loved to see us all laughing and running through the School's beautiful grounds, especially considering the true love for nature Kai held. 

We enjoyed the breakfast morning on Wednesday - a huge thank you to the Catering Team who provided us with delicious bacon and sausage baps, and a refreshing smoothie - a lovely way to start our mornings! We, as the JLT, served the breakfast, which made us really appreciate further the immense effort the Catering Team put into making and serving lunch daily. 

On Thursday, the Sixth Form's final day of hosting, we held our annual Teacher Lip-Sync Competition during lunch! The theme for this year was Movies and all the contestants did extremely well, especially our winners: Mrs Hocking, Mrs Sutton, Mrs McNerney and Miss White - their group name was "Le Petit Four". The singing and dancing from the audience was almost as strong as the performances!

The CAFOD Young Leaders took over the events on Friday, and ran 'Sponge the Teacher' throughout lunch. It was hard for pupils to sponge their favourite teachers, but the fun was well worth it! Thanks to all the teachers who made the sacrifice for a good cause.

On top of all the events, we had a bake sale every break time, which really added to the buzz around school throughout this week!

All in all, this week has been a colossal success! We are so proud to have raised 🌟£12,000🌟 and rising, for some truly deserving charities.
