Re ‐ Prom, hosted by Head Girl Natasha Latham, at the Senior School
In March, Senior School pupils had a fabulous ti me celebra ti ng Red Nose Day, with an own ‐ clothes day and themed bake sale raising funds for Comic Relief. Together, the girls managed to raise £385.70 for the charity. Leading by example Our dedicated sta ff are also keen to highlight the importance of giving back to society and have taken part in a variety of fundraising ac ti vi ti es throughout the year. Throughout the month of October, our Lower School Learning Support Coordinator and Teacher, Mrs Maughan , completed 100 Skips a Day for Cancer Research UK , encouraging Key Stage 2 pupils to join her on the playground. As she completed the challenge in memory of her sister, whose life was cut short at the age of 35, Mrs Maughan managed to raise over £465 towards the charity. A group of Lower and Senior School sta ff also joined the Snowdon Sunrise Walk to raise money for Cla tt erbridge Cancer Charity . Although condi ti ons weren’t ideal, our sta ff were able to ba tt le the wet and windy condi ti ons up and down the mountain. We were extremely pleased to receive a cer ti fi cate of apprecia ti on from the charity for the superb e ff ort of our Queen’s team, who were able to raise over £3,200 in dona ti ons. Re ‐ Prom In March, the School saw an evening of elegance and altruism as we hosted Re ‐ Prom, a charity event organised by Head Girl Natasha Latham to raise awareness and dona ti ons for Evie’s Gi ft . The evening involved a dazzling fashion show featuring our very own Queen’s girls, who showcased the beau ti ful new and pre ‐ loved dresses that were for sale, as well as professional demonstra ti ons in make ‐ up, hair and beauty. The event also welcomed a variety of prom ‐ related service suppliers, a couple of who graciously donated prizes for the ra ffl e. Beyond the glitz and glamour, the true essence of the evening shone through and over £6,600 was raised. Evie’s Gi ft is a charity that supports the families of cri ti cally ill children across the UK, and is especially close to Natasha’s heart, who’s friend’s memory inspired the charity’s incep ti on. A huge thank you to all who a tt ended and contributed towards this important cause, and congratula ti ons to Natasha on organising such a wonderful event.
