Charities
We aim to teach our pupils to be aware of the world around them, to be aware of the needs of others, to strive to make a difference and to be involved. As a result of this, our School Council organises many whole school charity days and events to help us support local, national and worldwide charities. Here are a few examples:
Remembrance Day
To commemorate Remembrance Day, some of our Year 8 students worked extremely hard to raise funds for the Poppy Appeal by selling poppies, wrist bands, key rings etc.
In addition to this, some of our Year 5 students joined Holy Trinity and members of the local community to commemorate Remembrance Day at the Holy Trinity First School Circle of Peace. While some of our Year 5 students were at the Circle of Peace, the rest of our school community commemorated this important event through a service which included a two minutes silence and a reading by Mr Duffield.
Finally, some of our Year 8 students also participated in Berwick Town Council's Parade on Sunday 12th November. The event began with a service in Holy Trinity Church and the Council were joined by the Civic Party, Berwick Pipe Brigade, Emergency Services and over 40 other local organisations, who all joined the parade through the town centre, marked the two minutes silence at 11am and laid wreaths to remember those brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives, so that we could lives ours.
Children in Need
To help raise money for Children in Need, The School Council invited all pupils to come to school wearing something spotty and to make a donation towards this fantastic cause. Pupils also learned about the work Children in Need does, participated in Children in Need Pudsey Quizzes and also enjoyed Pudsey treats at break time. In total we raised a fantastic £342!
